Awl and Point Turner photoDesigned and handcrafted by a blacksmith, this awl and point turner are the perfect tools for those hard to reach places in your collars or corners. They're the perfect gift for any sewer who values high-quality tools. $15.00 each or $25 for the set plus shipping and handling.

Iron was the most commonly used metal in the 18th and 19th centuries. It was the natural choice when thinking about tools and utensils used in everyday life. From cooking and fireplace tools, to house hardware and craft tools the question remains why ironwork has faded from artistic focus. Much modern ironwork is intentionally heavy and crude and meant to be seen only under a thick coat of black paint. In contrast, the subtlety and grace that appear in these iron sewing tools are filled with delicate details meant for maker and user alike. It will be in your hand that the iron will create its own patina.

These sewing tools created today by the hands of a master blacksmith share the creative spirit with those of us who use needle and thread as our medium of expression. The exacting shape and hand of the tools is the collaboration between blacksmith and dressmaker.
