Yesterday I had a great date (insert sarcastic voice).
I had the opportunity to spend 8 wonderful hours with my sweet seam ripper.
Actually to be totally honest, no it wasn't fun, I wouldn't wish seam ripping on anyone, however, it was so nice to just sit, and do almost nothing. I think I'm always running and never just sit. The first couple hours my kids were sleeping, it was so quiet, I loved it, I didn't even turn the TV on, I just enjoyed my quiet time ripping. :)

I also have a pretty sweet seam ripper that makes unpicking quilting stitches not so horrible.
It's Alex Anderson's 4-in-1 Essential Sewing Tool.
Seriously, this thing is awesome!
Here are a few stats from C&T:
• Flat-ended presser cap for finger pressing, folding, burnishing
• Super-sharp BERNINA seam ripper for fast "unsewing"
• Pointed wood end cap for turning bias tubes and doll parts
• Extra-long stiletto protects fingers while pressing and machine piecing
• Won't roll off your work surface!

I will also add to that, the tool is large enough that when holding it for hours on end your hand actually doesn't start to ache. :)
Available for purchase here.
Hope you all have a fantastic day! After "unsewing" all day yesterday, today has got to be a better day! :)
Wow, you really did spend all day seam ripping... no fun. I've ripped out maybe a 120-inch seam at a time- max. What on earth were you taking apart?
ReplyDeleteThat tool sounds wonderful almost handier than the man of the house. Sorry that you had to do so much unpicking.
ReplyDeleteSome days I seem to "unsew" more than I sew...in fact a lot of days...
ReplyDeleteUgh. I did some of that today. I want to get one of those seam rippers, maybe it will be in my Christmas stocking. :)
ReplyDeleteYou have my sympathies. I did that last week - about 6 hours worth. ugh.
