Fashion Strategies: Sewing tools

I measure the size of your body so that your dress

will fit you well.

I serve as a guide in drawing straight lines and

measure short distances.

You use me in drawing square corners as you make

patterns and I look like the capital letter “L”.

My handles are of different size and use me in cutting your fabric for your dress. ONLY use me to cut fabric.

I have smooth or serrated wheel and use me in transferring marks on the fabric.

They call me “small cushion” & I keep your pins

& needles so that they will not be lost.

Many call me “shield” for I protect your middle

finger from being pricked while having hand sewing.
