By any chance, can you tell me the exact name of this tool? As you can see from the picture, it has a large eye at one end, a ball on the other end and it is 6" long. I will greatly appreciate your help.
It's a bodkin!! I posted the picture on Facebook and the ladies pounced on it right away. I was having a horrible case of brain freeze and the more I thought, the emptier my mind got!!
Oh Rhonda, je ne sais pas comment ça s'appele mais c'est fait pour les bretelles dites "spaghettis". Quand elle sont tres tres fines, on coud sur l'envers et grace à cet outil, on remet la bretelle à l'endroit. Mille bravos pour ce blog dont je m'inspire chaque jour! christiane
Hi Kathy! It was so nice to meet you yesterday! As I was writing out my script for my little presentation, I could not remember bodkin to save my neck. Thank God for all my Internet sewing friends. They saved the day!! Stay in touch, and if you ever bring that pretty little airplane to Chicago, let me know. By any chance, do you ever go to Oshkosh? Let me know, and I'll make a point to come up for a visit.
Not sure what to call it....but I would use it to thread ribbon through a casing:-)
