They're back! 

And, sadly, this is the last of them....

(After looking at the amount of time it takes to create each one, we've realized that it's way more work than it's worth!)

But you can grab yours now!  Check out my video here: Wooden Sewing Stiletto

This time around, you have some new choices that are different than in the video:

• Gloss or No Gloss
• Embellished or Original
• Darker or Lighter Wood

------------------------------

Years ago, I begged Phillip to make me a stiletto.  With his skills, I knew he’d be able to make something I'd like.

I don’t just like this creation; I love it!  And I guess you did too since it sold out quickly.  It took forever for him to make me more, but they are back in stock.   BUT .... once these are gone, there won't be any more. 

 ------------------------------------

Used at the sewing machine and serger, the cutting table and ironing table, it is perfect for turning, stuffing, pressing, pushing, guiding, shoving, folding, flipping and much more.

Because these are handmade, each one is a bit different. But they all have the same functions.

One end is pointed and sharp enough to help turn corners but not so sharp to poke through your fabric. This same end is perfect to use at the sewing machine or serger to guide, push, shove or manipulate your fabric under the needle.

The other end is wider and angled with a flat edge that is better than any finger press. On certain projects, I can even get away with not using an iron!

The tool is just a bit longer than most stilettos making it easier to work inside a project. The length of the tool is flat which means that you can use the whole tool for pressing or wrapping as well.

If you’re a gadget girl or tool guy, give this one a try! 

Gloss or No Gloss? 

Many of you use a stiletto solely at the sewing machine.

But I like the idea of using one at the ironing board, too.

When Phillip made these, he added gloss to show off the grain and variations in the wood.

But…. If you want to use it with your iron and happen to let the heat stay too long, the gloss might transfer to the iron or to your fabric.  Not good!

So, I will always recommend you purchase the No Gloss version.  It doesn’t shine as much so you don’t see all of the beauty of the wood. 

But if you’re going to be working with the iron, ‘practical’ is much more important than ‘pretty’!

Which one should I get?

Using it just at the sewing machine?  Choose any that you like!

Using with your iron, too? Choose a No Gloss style that you like. 

The Gloss is prettier; the No Gloss is more practical.
