pulling a hand sewing needle though fabric when it’s stuck.pulling broken sewing machine needles out of thick layers of fabrics.The hammer goes hand in hand with the staple gun to hammer those reluctant staples in place. Screwdrivers used for ripping out staples when a mistakes are made.

This handy tool is used when mounting a window treatment to a board. This little guy runs from October to April and sometimes (like this year) into May. See! It still moves! But it’s better than before. You may notice the pedal is facing backwards. Pretty, isn’t it? Especially with all the dust. Finally I slapped a piece of wood down to hold it in place. For years I have battled the roving foot pedal wandering around under my sewing table while searching for it with my foot. HUGE pet peeve…traveling sewing machine pedals. I use the binder clips in place of straight pins to get the job done while praying I can get my machine to sew through all this thickness! Occasionally I end up sewing through layers of fabrics and trims that I simply can not get a pin through. You wouldn’t believe how handy these little guys are. Painters tape helps to keeps it under control. It’s gorgeous but entirely unruly when it comes to sewing with it.

I might inspire you to use a few of them yourself…or you just might show me a much better option!Įvery now and then I make something using a thoroughly out-of-control fringe. Today I thought I’d share a glimpse of my sewing room and these “tools” both expected and unexpected. I recently noticed that my sewing room/work room holds an inordinate amount of random things that I use while working that I loosely call “tools”.
