If you really want to sew, I suggest a getting a serger in addition to a main machine. Trying to deal with the zig-zag stitch on one of those computerized machines sucks.
My cheap-o brother machines have died slow deaths and I've replaced them with Juki. TL-2000qi and a MO-644d
> What tools might I need?
not much really. seam ripper, good shears (ginger is a great brand), a long ruler (this guy works great), denim needles.
chalk (I only buy Clover brand)
I prefer binder clips over pins. Don't try to sew through pins with denim - great way to break needles/machines.
> I'll probably be buying cone denim, but what do you use and where do you source it?
this is a great source for denim, thread, buttons, and rivets. They even sell a kit with everything including a pattern.
> What about thread, buttons and zippers?
above source for all of that
> Any advice or pro tips?
serge everything but the selvedge ends. especially if you do stretch denim. makes the whole job about twice as fast.
I have a Brother DZ1234 and I recommend it! Used it near-constantly until I finally splurged for an industrial. Versatile, easy to move around, basic, sturdy.
I want to see if this is sale really is a good deal...
