Yes, I loves me some sewing gadgets. There are all sorts of things out there to aide in sewing, and none of them are more interesting, or useful, than the vintage ones.
This first one is my plastic bobbin holder. Its seen better days, much better, but it was my mother's so it will never be replaced.
This next one I love simply for its graphics. Late 50s more likely, back when women were euphoric in their girdled dresses doing housework and such.
Speaking of girdles...Im leery of the elastic. Im sure its past its prime.
Same for this one, but lookit that hair!
Apparently home pleating was big. As well as the ways to do it. I find it interesting that now if you have enough yardage, you can just send off and have your fabric pleated.
I am all about that pleating measure thing, though. CANT wait to try it out!
And the bevy of self belt making kits. I have a lot of these. Many different brands.
Im also somewhat of a seam gauge collector. I LOVE the vintage ones, and this one (probably 60s) is my favorite. There isnt anything this thing cant measure!
This is the latest addition to my collection. I got it mainly for the calatin buttons, but look i the upper left, a SCALLOP RULER!!!!!! How awesome is that! VERY!.
