Sweet Pea Sewing Supplies and Notions Recommendations

We’ve officially hung up our "shipping hats" to focus 100% on what we love most: designing! By transitioning away from selling physical supplies, our team can now pour all our energy into creating more of the innovative In-The-Hoop designs and detailed tutorials you love.

However, we want to make sure you’re never left guessing at the craft store or online. On this page, you’ll find the tried-and-tested products we use every day in the Sweet Pea studio. From our favourite stabilisers to the studio essentials that make every ITH project a total breeze, these are the items we trust to make our designs shine. We’ve linked to reliable retailers so you can grab your essentials quickly and get back to the joy of stitching!

Please note we may earn a commission from affiliate links if you purchase, at no extra cost to you.
