    Tape Measure

a. Thimble

A thimble is a protective shield worn on the finger or thumb. A thimble is most usually made from metal, leather, rubber, wood, glass or china.

b. Tape measure

c. Scissors and shears

d. Pinking shears

Pinking shears are scissors whose blades are sawtooth instead of straight. Pinking shears will leave a zigzag pattern instead of a straight edge.

Pinking shears are useful for cutting woven cloth. Cloth edges that are unfinished will easily fray, the weave becoming undone and threads pull out easily. The sawtooth pattern does not prevent the fraying but limits the length of the frayed thread and thus limits damage.

e. Needles of various sizes and types
