These new double ended seam rippers, that my husband just finished making, allowed me to have a little extra “photo taking fun” since they have a sharp stiletto on one end!  I stood them in foam to make a seam ripper flower.  It’s the little joys!

The seam rippers have two ends.  Here, both are exposed but of course you would never use it like that. It wouldn’t be safe!  You can simply pull the hardware out of the handle, turn it around and reinsert it to cap it.  If you notice, the center of the “flower” above is capped.

I have been asked how you use a stiletto.  Well, it can be used to save your fingers as you feed fabric under the presser foot or while you press open little seams. It can also puncture fabric so you can use it to open an eyelet, make a slit to insert a magnetic clasp, or to begin a button hole opening.  I am sure you will come up with plenty of uses for it.

I am listing these seam rippers in my Etsy shop now (which means that they are only available to US customers due to my Paypal settings thanks to the VAT nightmare).  Please be understanding.  We are all coping as best we can with the new constraints.
