The Stitch Nerd Custom Shop

I have a new website specifically designed for ordering custom, handmade, tailor’s pressing hams and seam rolls!

Now it is easier to envision what your fabric choices may look like together as a finished pressing ham or seam roll.  You can play with different fabric color combinations and order something that reflects your personality.  I sell custom pressing tools on Etsy however, at this site you will not need to register or create an account, and you can pay through Paypal or Google Checkout.

A personalized item is also a great gift for the sewist who has almost every sewing tool available.  Click on the picture below and have a look, have some fun!

Tailor’s Pressing Ham Holder

Tailor’s Pressing Ham Holder – Buy yours at the Stitch Nerd Custom Shop or the Stitch Nerd Etsy shop!

Anyone who sews and uses pressing tools regularly, is aware that pressing hams and seam rolls can sometimes be challenging to hold in place.  I would like to introduce you to a new product in my Etsy Shop, a Ham Holder.  Visit my shops for more details and how you can get yours!

Pattern Paper

I have traced my patterns on butcher paper for the longest time and I never really thought twice about using it.  I just purchased a few yards of this dotted paper at the nearby Vac and Sew store.

What kind of paper do you use to trace patterns?  The butcher paper is fine however it is thick and bulky, especially when I fold the pattern pieces for storage.  Just trying out something new here.
