My best tool

Autumn in the park in Karlsruhe

 
 

Do you ever have something to turn inside out?

Then get immediately in touch with your surgeon

if you know any (hopefully not)

a mother of a doctor (in my case) or with a nurse and

ask her for these kind of scissors -

But these are no scissors to cut fabrics or paper - no, no - they are

nippers and you can pinch something with them. I hope I got

the name right.

They pinched and held many times - I don't want to imagine what

when they were in the hand of a surgeon in their former life

 

Look at the little hook at the tip - it can very well hold fabric

when you have to turn narrow things - here I use them to

create a new dottie doll. You go inside the sewn shape,

grap a little bit of the fabric and pull and there it is - turned in a second.

I turned the little house, too, which I copied from

Kim Kruzich - I found it on Pinterest - pattern

 

A new pin cushion? Or what? Or for the drawer?

For a door knob? Or for the cat to play with.... there is a bird at the bottom.

Some day an occasion will turn up to give it away.
