I went yesterday and bought his cousin. A sweet little pink number! Boy is she pretty. I couldn't find one exactly like my old pal so I just bought her for now! I couldn't wait to bring her home and try her out. We made it home and immediately bonded. I was so giddy. She ripped with ease. And her comfort grips were SO nice! I was in love. An instant friend. Only until she met her demise :( Yes less than ten minutes home and she gone :( Snapped like her cousin. 2 seam rippers in 2 days. The sewing fates are against me.

I had a few comments with the last thread that I may be too dependent on my seam ripper :) Well I am! I make backpacks and diaper bags from Army uniforms. I sell them both locally and in my etsy shop! I have sold over 40. But to make a bag you must rip rip rip first! Any suggestions as to why I have broken the last 2? I have never broken one before. And now I've broken two.
