My favorite little tool

 The Dritz sewing gauge is used on so many of my projects for a variety of reasons, and is critical to me when mounting needlework.  Whether laid flat, on edge, upside down, it makes the task much easier.


I should have been finished with this but it was a bad eye weekend.

Happy Monday!

Boy, the new ones sure are flimsy! Going to keep my eyes open for an older one at a garage sale.

Marly, that little sewing gauge is so handy for sewing but I never thought of it for framing! Thanks for the tip!
I love how your BBD is coming along. The dolphin fabric and reds you chose are so pretty together. I hope your eyes do better this week.

I couldn't live without my sewing gauge...although I have never used it for cross stitching.... I still have the one I got when it was a required tool for sewing in high school. Then again, I still have my pressing ham too....somewhere LOL. Love your rich colors on your new little.... Hope your Monday was good to you. ~Robin~ (PS....LOVE the tags!!!)

Why I have never used a sewing gauge???? Never even thought of it...I just count the linen threads...like a dummy!!
