TiL this is a seam gauge. Which I could have used the last few projects, instead of a big giant metal ruler. #sewing

Question for the sewists out there. Just ran out of white and black thread, so going to order from Wawak. While I am there, does someone have a list of the basic stuff you ought to have on hand to avoid ordering one-offs?

(In the amateur radio work, there's the concept of a "junk box" where some common things like resistors, capacitors, connectors, semiconductors, diodes, ICs, etc. should be maintained so you can quickly connect up circuits)

My current list:
1. Extra sewing machine needles (already obtained)
2. Pins (already have)
3. Extra bobbins (already have)
4. Hand sewing needles (I have EXACTLY ONE... I really need more)
5. Interfacing (bought some stuff from the Bezos expo... the wrong size, not happy I bought that way, but I was desperate).
6. Thread (black, white, beige... other colors I should have around?)
7. Stretchy stuff you use for waistbands and what not?
8. ???

(if there's a page with a list, that works too).

LOL, Beulah Fire in Utah.

When's the last time you met anyone named "Beulah" in this century?

😂 Free unicycle.

(though, this WOULD go with the vest I just sewed. I COULD JOIN THE CIRCUS)
