Basic tools are essential in measuring and marking.
We use the simple tailor's chalk and hem gauge. Been around for eons, the tailor's chalk is made of talc and won't leave a residue. Very important not to have fabric permanently marked.
The hem gauge is used for everything that we need to measure, it goes beyond hems. It has a sliding adjustable guide to keep measurements pinpoint. This nifty tool is owned by Carolle and is over 30 years old and made in Canada. A rarity these days. Even Carolle can not remember exactly how old it is.
These tools are truly classic and we wouldn't know what to do without it. If you sew... these are a must!
