Sewer’s Extra Finger
This amazing tool is like adding an extra pair of hands to your sewing projects! The two pronged tips, one flat, one pointed, can be used to help feed fabric through your sewing machine, or hold a hem while you press it. Exceedingly useful if manipulating fabric is challenging and can help keep hands away from machine needles and hot irons.



















Bonnie Cox –
I bought this pattern from the craft show in Birmingham.
I have finished making my octopus using rainbow colours for the underside tentacles and an off white for the head and upper tentacles.
I shall be making another very soon! but I believe there are possibly a couple of errors in the pattern.
Beaded tentacle. I believe row 8 should be after rows 9-20
Loopy tentacle. I believe row 66 should read ch1, 1dc, ch1, sk1, 2dc, turn
Great fun to make, thanks for the design.
Becky Cole –
Thank you so much for your kind words and for bringing the potential errors to our attention. We will definitely check this out x
