My clapper, my seam roll and my tailor chalk are my best sewing friends. I could never finish a garment without those.
Of course most of the other things I need too. But these make my garments look so much nicer than many home-made items.
I love to sew. Sometimes when I make a mistake I love ripping it out, thinking about how I won't do it that way again,

and trying to think of a better way to do it.
