What? A golf tee? But I don't golf!

| Extra Long Golf Tee |
Okay, I know you all think I’ve lost it but I was doing some
work the other day with a small item that needed to be turned right side out
and this is what happened. I turned the item and then needed something to push the corners out, etc. I just happened
to have an extra long golf tee that was sent to me in an order of regular tees
(these tees are used in my Needle Nabbers which by the way will be on sale in my shop until the end of the month. Need to clear the way for a new and improved design!).

I grabbed the
extra long golf tee and it worked perfectly! Didn’t poke through the fabric, it
was great.
Then I had to stuff the
item (remember it’s small as in the pincushion for my Close at Hand wristpincushion).

How’s that two plugs! Well I again grabbed the golf tee and used
the top where the golf ball sits to push the stuffing and the bottom to get the
stuffing up into the corners.
.I
also used it as a scoring tool on
some card stock! Who knew such a simple item could be sew handy!
And
one final (for now) use: use it to hold
your fabric (like a stylus, I think there’s another word for this but I can’t
think of it right now – lol!) as you are feeding it through your sewing machine.
Happy
Stitching and Crafting (You never know what you’ll find around you house
to use as a sewing/crafting tool!)
