I use seam rippers a lot, although not as much for ripping seams as for other things in bear making. Yes, I know, you’re wondering what in hell you can use a seam ripper for that isn’t for ripping seams, but basically I use them for unpicking fur from seams and things.
Having found my perfect sewing one last year I didn’t really want to blunt it by doing double duty, and those wee Β£1 jobs aren’t so comfortable in the hand, so when I saw that Amy’s husband had a new batch of hand turned seam rippers available a while ago, I leapt right in to get a zebra striped one:
It did a sterling job in the making of Sitka, a great addition to the stable!
If you want one, keep an eye out in Amy’s Etsy shop, and she usually announces them on her blog too :o)

I've been trying to find a more stylish seam ripper seeing as I use them all the time, ugh! Love that zebra print!!

I can never seem to find my seam ripper at those all important moments! But, that would definitely stand out from all the junk around my machine!
That looks a fantastic one. I have a large one that is really good, but it is only white. Nothing snazzy like yours.
Hugs
Oh the queen of rippers!
I'm tempted every time I see one! Will have to keep an eye out π
