How about a very special
thimble? So many people
collect thimbles anymore
that there is a wide variety
available and at a wide price
range. A very special gift of
a gold or silver thimble is a
lifetime treasure as well as a
financial investment.
Fancy sewing boxes
abound at gift-giving time.
Many of these are odd
shapes that are difficult to
store. Be sure the box is big
enough to hold the most used
supplies. A handle helps you
carry it with you. A sewing
hassock is another
possibility for storing your
sewing supplies.
There are so many sewing
books for sale anymore that
it may be difficult to make a
choice. Your best buys are
those prepared by pattern
companies. They may not
have as many fancy pictures
but the informaion is basic
and accurate.
Sewing items that are
most useful may not always
be the most eye catching.
Good dressmaker pins are
always needed--and
somewhat expensive today.
A good tape measure, ac
curate and sturdy, is another
essential. Buy one with both
metric and standard
measurements so you can
get used to the metric
system.
A folding cutting board is
most useful if cutting space
is a problem. Good pressing
equipment is absolutely
essential and rather ex
pensive to buy. Some
manufacturers are making
complete sets of pressing
hams, seam boards and
small press boards which
should make a welcome gift.
So, if Santa is in a quandry
about some last-minute gifts
for the seamstress of the
house, suggest that he might
have a look in a fabric shop
or notion department.
