My Newest Sewing Tool!

Monday, October 25, 2010
I found another sewing tool last week and I got around to using it this weekend.  It is a chalk pencil used for marking dark fabrics. I have tried several…

They all work, but not as well or as easily as I hoped. Not one to give up, I found this new gadget and since it was inexpensive and I had a coupon to boot, I figured I’d give it a shot. BINGO! I love it!

It has a little wheel on the tip that chalk comes out of. Please excuse the photo quality. I have a hard time photographing and working simultaneously!!

The line shows up quite well and disappears completely with a damp cloth.

It is refillable and comes in blue, yellow, silver, and pink as well as white. I am quite excited about this. (I know – it takes very little to excite me!)
I am not affiliated with Clover in any way. I just like to read posts about sewing doodads and thought I should play fair and post one of my own.
Now off to enjoy those few remaining autumn leaves! These two pictures were taken yesterday.

This is from today. Notice the ground? A lot of leaves came down just over the night. I do love autumn, though. Even these gray damp days seem brighter with all that color about! And the leaves smell wonderful. However, anything lurking in the woods makes lots of crinkly noise and sets the dogs to barking!

May your bobbin always be full!

I love my chaco liner pen in yellow for marking dark fabrics. Don't they work great? Thank you for sharing the fall pictures.

Oh Melissa, if only I knew you were looking for one of the chaco wheel pens....I have some here that we don't use and would've happily sent you one. We got them in pink, yellow and white when we thought about cloth making....but then bag making took a hold of me..lol Hugs Naomi
