Oh my gosh, I love that idea. Thanks

Seriously CUTE!!
I cannot measure by eye. So all my sewing measurements are done with lots of chalk or some sort of marker. Hadn't thought of doing this.

Well I'd never have thought about this one!!! Thanks for letting us know about the most expensive tool out there.. Love it.. Marian

for those who are wondering what pen to use for this method of measuring its a sharpie or a fine point indelible pen. you can remove the marks from your finger useing bleach. or just let it fade away in a day by simply washing your hands.


hope this will help


alternatly put a plaster on your thumb and mark that instead

Amazing and so simple. Wish I would have thought of it.

That's great! Now I need the tattoo version so it won't wash off...LOL!

brilliant!

I get it, mark it on your finger, I can do that! Simple and easy to remember.

now THATS a tool that you won't lay down someplace and lose! What a great idea, thanks for sharing! ***FLOWERS 4 all***

Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best (and cheapest). AND you don't have to search for the "tools" when you get up for something and then sit back down again. :) Thank you. I love this idea.

Sew simple but very clever.

use a sharpi pen. it markes the finger but not the fabric and will not smudge once dried.

Clever.

Wow what a good idea. Thankyou for the tip. Regards Lorraine McNeill of Woodcroft South Australia
