IKEA sewing accessories: curtain up on your textile ideas

With our sewing accessories, you can tweak, alter and completely restyle IKEA textiles in no time. They make it easy. Gathering curtains, adding new details with hook-and-loop tape, cutting IKEA fabrics and turning them into works of art: all of it is possible with our sewing accessories. Already got a few ideas for what you'd like to do with your fabric by the metre and IKEA products like curtains or tablecloths? For your costumes, tablecloths, net curtains and all your other projects, you'll find the sewing notions you need here. And if you need anything else: at IKEA you can buy not just sewing supplies but also curtains, cushion covers, sheepskins, blankets and so much more, so you can conjure up something truly unique.

Key features and benefits of our sewing accessories (depending on the item):

• Versatility: here you'll find a range of haberdashery for specific projects like hemming or fastenings, as well as everything you need for larger sewing projects.
• Easy to use: iron-on and adhesive tapes work without a sewing machine and without any experience, so you get results fast.
• Saves time: hems and repairs are done in just a few minutes, so our sewing accessories can save you a good deal of time too.
• Long-lasting quality: the materials are made to last and hold up through many washes.
• Complete sewing kits: an IKEA sewing kit with more than 30 pieces includes needles, threads, scissors and other essentials, giving you a solid starter kit straight out of the box.
• Made for home textiles: our curtain tape, hemming tape and hook-and-loop tape are specifically designed for altering IKEA curtains, covers and home textiles.

Pick the right needles, threads and tapes for your next sewing project and bring your textile ideas to life with our haberdashery. Pop into your local IKEA store to have a browse, or order your preferred sewing accessories online at a great price.

What sewing accessories are there?

Our range of sewing notions is varied – perfect if you want to shorten curtains or alter other textiles. Needles, threads, scissors, tape measures, pins and thimbles make up the basics. Then there's a handy selection of haberdashery like hemming tape, hook-and-loop tape and curtain tape. A sewing accessories set in a neat box gives you everything you need to get started. That way your sewing notions are right there when you need them.

What sewing supplies do I need at home?

For most home textile projects, a modest starter kit is enough. Iron-on hemming tape is perfect for shortening curtains and net curtains, for instance. But you can also use it to alter sofa covers or seat cushions. Hook-and-loop tape, on the other hand, comes into its own for projects like homemade cushion covers or items with removable parts. And our curtain tape creates beautiful folds. With a basic sewing kit, you can also tackle small hand-sewing jobs, sew on buttons or darn holes.

What counts as haberdashery?

Haberdashery covers all the small items and tools used in sewing that aren't fabric. That includes tapes, buttons, zips, hook-and-loop tape, elastic, hemming tape, needles and threads. Unlike fabric by the metre, haberdashery is usually bought in small quantities or as a set. At IKEA, you can order online or pick everything up in your local store.

What's the best way to organise sewing accessories?

Good organisation saves time and hassle. Sort needles, threads and small items into transparent glass or plastic jars so you can find everything at a glance. Labels help you find your sewing notions quickly, even in baskets or other storage boxes. For larger, regular projects involving whole rolls of fabric and professional tools, you'll find clever storage systems here that bring order to any sewing room.
