sewing notions
Needlework accessories collection
Sewing notions are the small tools and supplies used in sewing beyond fabric and thread: buttons, zippers, pins, needles, snaps, hooks, thimbles, seam rippers, measuring tape.
A fabric store's notions department stocks these incidentals.
The term is standard in American English but sounds old-fashioned to some: I need to pick up a few notions for this project.
