Today’s stash report is a little different – a new tool!
I was planning on trying out some bibs to make for my sister and use snaps for the closure as they’re much more secure and easier to use than velcro – baby can’t rip it off, doesn’t get caught in their hair, doesn’t get all fluffy and funny in the wash, doesn’t stick to other things in the wash… And so I was going to be needing some snaps pliers eventually. Until I needed them for my Practically Paper Piecing blog hop day item!
They’re some random Japanese brand I can’t read, but they’re so easy to use! And can do 10mm, 12mm or 15mm snaps as well as coming with a whole bunch of them in the pack. Nice!
Oh, and plus there’s some fun new fabric in my shop stash awaiting to be cut up so I can play with the scraps…
And my first customer received some happy mail this week! Go check it out. I’m so glad you were happy with them, Gemma!
Linking up with Fiona at Finding Fifth for Sunday Stash!

Beautiful fabric in your store! I can’t wait to see your bibs.
AlyceB says
Thank you Jenna! I’ve got to find/make a pattern for them first.
Fiona @findingfifth says
So new I am intrigued by what you will make for the blog hop. I saw Gemma’s new lovelies.
Gemma@prettybobbins says
Very happy with the fabrics, thank you 🙂 Will have to keep away from your store LOL I love my snap press, so handy! Most recently I used it for cushion cover closures. I only have the one die though, sounds like you got a bargain! 🙂

Ooh can’t wait to see your blog hop project!
The new tool sounds like a great idea with lots of bibs planned!

Ooo those prints looks cool. i’m going over to have a look, sadly I can’t buy any as on strict fabric ban right now! =D

Hmmm … your snap pliers seem much more useful than mine (multiple sizes and what not). Mine are a headache more often than not. Just can’t seem to get the little buggers to go on straight!

Oh those apples are sooo tempting! They are very cute. Kudos on the snap pliers, I’m still using the old hammer method and those look much easier.

Beautiful fabric choices. Do the snap pliers work with grommets?
