I've decided to feature one of my favorite tools each Tuesday. We'll see if I can sustain this EVERY week - I may run out of tools and have to cut back to monthly posts . . . but let's give it a try! :)
So one of my most favorite tools that I use EVERY SINGLE time I cut out patterns, and a tool I can't believe I went YEARS without even knowing about, is the Pattern Notcher! If you don't already have one of these - trust me - GET ONE!
This handy (and cheap!) little tool is a life saver and keeps you from having to awkwardly angle your scissors to try to cut out that little triangle notch on the patterns. It works just like a hole punch: slide your notcher over the pattern and/or fabric and squeeze! Clip! That simple.
I'll be honest for a long time I actually didn't even cut in the notches because to me they were a pain in the butt. I know, it's not THAT hard to cut a notch with scissors, but it was just enough "extra" that I didn't want to do it. Since I found these pattern notchers, I've become a notch zealot and I just love putting the notches in my fabric.
There's not a lot more I can say about this tool other than I LOVE IT! (In case you didn't pick up on that yet. ;) I'll post a few links below where you can pick one up and a great video explaining how to use them.

Let me know what you think and if you already have one and use it - do you love it too?
With love,
Rebecca
