Gary and Helen liked these tools when working on their projects.
For Sewing
This aid lends a helping hand to sewing projects.
Loops and Threads Wrist Pin Cushion impressed me from the first because of its cute, floral fabric. When I saw it while looking for a pin cushion, it stood out from the usual tomatoes. Plus, it gave me a hands-free option. After finishing a project, I love how the wrist pin cushion lets me do my thing – sew – without taking up space and stays in place rather than flip around. It has space for many pins, is comfortable on the wrist and is made of durable fabric. Also, when I am working on hemming and need both hands, all of the pins are on the cushion which is firmly attached to my wrist. The velcro strap makes it easy to take on and off. The Loops and Threads Wrist Pin Cushion is a real helper elf.

For Drawing
A great drawing tool for artists
Sakura Pigma Micron Pens
I first learned about the Sakura Pigma Micron Pens when I worked at an art supply store in Miami that catered to both professional and amateur artists. What makes the Micron pens stand out compared to other markers or writing pens is the fact that they use pigment based ink. That means that the ink won’t fade with exposure to light. Their ink is archival quality and is the perfect thing to use for art projects that demand longevity. I like to use the number 8 black pen which has a 0.5mm line width. That makes a bold dark line that is visible even when reduced in size by 50%. I create a sketch in light pencil lines, then carefully ink over them. When dry, I can lightly erase the pencil lines or use photo editing software to increase the contrast until the pencil lines disappear.
