10 Super Cool Sewing Inventions

After recently stumbling across the coolest sewing machine invention I had ever seen, it made me start to wonder. What other super cool sewing related technology is out there that I had yet to discover?!  I did a little bit of research, and here is what I found…

I mean, this stuff is interesting. Am I right?

transparent iron

See Through Iron, 10 Cool Sewing Inventions

via Yanko Design

Talk about making sure your hems are nice and evenly pressed. COOL. No more guessing when it comes to ironing that curved seam!

 

big eye needle

So you press down on the top of the needle, and the eye expands for easy threading. Ummmm, amazing.  Why hasn’t anyone thought of this before?!!

 

custom color thread sewing machine

No Thread Sewing Machine

via Sew Review

Imagine a sewing machine that can color match, turning white thread into the color of your choosing. This is like the home depot paint station and my passion for sewing mixed together and turned into one awesome dish. Mind = blown.

 

conductive thread

Want to make a fully functioning Tron suit this Halloween? You might want to start here. It conducts electricity.

 

Powerless Illuminating Polymer Ribbon

via Inventables

I am not really sure how I would use this, other than to make things for biking / running at night. But – cool cool cool.

 

Square and portable sewing machine

Now THERE is a sewing machine I might actually travel with. Furthermore, there is a sewing machine my husband might actually like. So innovative. I love it! Imagine the looks you would get at your local sewing class when you pulled that bad boy out of your bag like a laptop – HA!

 

knitting clock

via Little Big Pants

It knits a scarf in a year. I am so in love with everything about that. I might need one for my studio…just because. Imagine the conversation…

You: What kind of clock is that?
Me: A knitting clock.
You: What?
Me: You heard me.

 

Shape-Retaining Plastic

85f37f6059ce38e9af6ec18781b84999

via Inventables

A thin plastic strip that bends like metal, then retains its shape. Oh the possibilities…hoop skirts, cool collars, couture like sleeve creations. I bet its dry clean only though. Lol

 

glue pen

via Yanko Design

Glue Guns are so yesterday, let me go get my glue pen.

 

force sensor sewing machine

Force Sensor Sewing Machine

via Yanko Design

Not only is it sleek looking, but this machine has the option to use speed sponsor technology. Allowing you to control how fast it sews, by how fast you push the fabric through the machine. It also boasts an easier way to thread the machine. I don’t know…but it sure is pretty!

 

And there you have it! Ten pretty dang awesome sewing related inventions. 

I want to see these on Shark Tank.

    I haven’t checked on all of these nifty items but some of them, like the illuminating ribbon & shape-retaining plastic, are available now at https://www.inventables.com. Calling some thing an invention does not mean it’s in development. I suspect all of these products are available now somewhere!

    I’m pretty sure guterman, coats and clarks and aurifil as well as all the other thread folks, would try to do everything in their power to stop that mazing machine that changes the color of ones thread from taking over. It’s so amazing! all of the items on this list are incredible.

    I have used conductive thread to light TINY lights (only two of them) and it really does work. The hardest part is reading the + and – signs on the lights. Yes, I had to redo them to get the current working correctly, but it’s pretty darned cool!

    I love to match my fabrics I buy to a certain color of thread, but sometimes you can’t find the perfect shade. So it would be great to have one universal color-changing thread that would change to the color that you need!

    I wonder about the conductive thread being used in theater – much less obtrusive and probably more comfortable to hook up a batter and mike…
