THAT PURPLE THANG
This genius tool can do anything and everything! It pushes, pulls and pokes your fabric and materials to make your life easier. You can also attach the tool to a piece of ribbon to wear it around your neck so it is always handy and close by when you need it.
There are so many uses for this handy tool, you might even find one of your own! Some of the most common ones are listed below:
- Pushes out corners of fabric
- Help feed material through the machine to keep your finders clear of the needle
- Use That Purple Thang to open seams when ironing so your finders do not get burnt
That Purple Thang measures six inches long and has a 1/4 inch square at one end. This tool is also fantastic to use as a quick measurement guide of seams or sizes. The other end of the tool is what you would call the stiletto, it has a curve with a soft rounded tip. The best thing about this stiletto is that it is made of heavy plastic and not metal, therefore it is not as sharp as traditional stilettos and will not poke your finger. This makes it perfect for kids who are just learning to sew. The last feature of this tool is the 0.5 inch long slit on the body of the tool. This is where you can thread a ribbon to wear the tool so it is always close or you can thread it with elastic and use it in place of a bodkin.
This tool really has so many uses, give it a go and maybe you will create a few more!
