Chopsticks for "pushing" out corners of pillowcases.
Bamboo skewers to use as a stilletto when sewing seams.
Pedicure toe separators to hold threaded bobbins.
Half a clothespin to "finger Press" seams. I used a pigma pen and decorated it with little flowers.

I just pop the blades thru the slit until I have enough to take in for recycling.
