My Fave Supplies for Sewing Jar Openers
Here's a list of the materials and tools I use to make the jar openers.
Non-Slip Drawer or Shelf Liner: Pick the color of your choice for the grippy side of the jar opener. One 12" x 20' roll of liner is enough to make 36 jar openers.
Buy on Amazon.
Wonder Clips: This pin alternative holds bulky layers in place and is easy to remove when sewing. (You can also use these clips to hold binding in place while sewing!)
Buy on Amazon or Fat Quarter Shop.
Point Turner: So helpful in getting nice points on your cozy to give it a refined look. If you make a lot of 3D objects, such as pillows, pincushions, or children's toys, a point turner is great tool to have.
Buy on Amazon.
Singer Heavy-Duty Computerized Sewing Machine: This is one of Lindsay's favorite machines, especially for sewing bulky items. This machine sews through all projects beautifully and comes with a walking foot to get even stitches. While it's obviously not necessarily to buy a new machine to sew jar openers, if you're in the market for an affordable machine for small projects or travel, this machine comes with many amazing features (like automatic thread cutter and decorative stitches) that other machines in that price-point don't.
Buy on Amazon.
If you make a jar opener be sure to share them on social media using the hashtags #HappyHourStitches and #HHSJarOpener
