Dressmaking scissors and tape measures

Dressmaking scissors and tape measures are basic equipment for anyone who sews or alters clothes. You will find double-sided 150 cm tape measures, stainless steel pinking shears for fabric and a sewing gauge with a sliding marker for accurately marking seams and buttonholes.

Dressmaking scissors and tape measures

For measuring the body and patterns, there are plastic tape measures 150 cm long, which the manufacturer describes as very durable. The scale is on both sides, on one model in centimetres and inches with large, easy-to-read markings. The tape wraps easily around the waist, hips or chest, so you can measure yourself at home.

The stainless steel pinking shears measure 23 × 8.7 cm and have a serrated blade with 5 mm teeth. They cut a decorative edge that reduces fraying and also work on lace. The ergonomic handle stays comfortable even during longer work.

For alterations, the plastic sewing gauge is a great help. Use the sliding marker to set the distance you need and quickly mark buttonhole spacing, seam allowance or hem depth. It is also handy for checking an even hem width when shortening trousers.
