New Favorite Notions
.
Here a few of my new favorites from the sewing notions department:
Rule Your Rulers – Over the years, I’ve collected a variety of quilting rulers. I don’t use them often, so as I put together my craft room, I wasn’t sure about the best way to store them. That’s when I saw this clever little item. I wouldn’t recommend this to someone who uses their rulers frequently, but if you don’t and want a simple solution to keep them all together, this works.
Deodorant Removing Sponge – This is a favorite of my daughter’s. Have you ever put on a top only to discover that some of your deodorant has transferred on the fabric? This takes it off.
Seam Ripper – This is a super handy tool to have whether you sew or not. Thanks to my sister, I own this super beautiful Gingher seam ripper, but a really nice seam ripper can be had for under $5. They’re great for removing tags from clothing and scarves and for opening pockets on new clothes that are sewn closed.
They look like some great gadgets Lori!

The rule your rulers thingy would be good to hang ribbons on.
Great finds, and for once, I actually have something here. A seam ripper! Very handy! Not as nifty looking as yours though. It must be an under 5 one.
I could use a deodorant removing sponge for sure 🙂
Haha, I want the deodorant sponge. 😮

That little seam ripper looks good! I’ve only ever had the plastic sort and they always break, sooner or later.
Deodorant removing sponge? And it really works? Wow – why haven’t I heard about that before?
My daughter loves the deodorant removing sponge.
All the gadgets look very useful. The seam ripper looks very sturdy.
Love gadget recommendations. I’m always looking for better ways to do things or store things. I repurposed a pants hanger from Target to organizer the kids collars. It has 5 different “levels” and the hanger arms swing out to allow you to hang your pants, or slip your martingale collars on. Works like a charm!
