Reddit mentions: The best sewing seam rippers

Hello all! I wanted to share with you my organizer for all my daily cross stitch stuff. I had been looking for an easy solution to store my stuff without having it all over my coffee table and be able to easily move between rooms to continue working on my projects. I finally found this little organizer on Amazon and it's PERFECT for what I needed. I thought it would be fun to go through my bag and show what supplies I keep in there. Not pictured are obviously my hoop this is my all time favorite and the grime guard that I am trying to learn to love.

Everything is stored in the Roll-up canvas organizer that I got from Amazon. It's made for crochet supplies, but comes empty so you can load it up with your own stuff. Lot of designs available, but most importantly, CATS!

Section 1:

-Dritz seam ripper

-Cottage Cutz 2-in-1 needle threader

-Basic travel scissors

-Embroidery Scissors

-Needle Minders - one homemade from a dichroic pendant from a local craft fair, one made from a Babypietattoo hand painted clay pendant

-Tiny magnet set - I used this as a "minder" before I got around to making new ones. I keep it inside my kit now to use for my needle threader. I usually stitch with the kit opened in front of me, so it's easy to just throw the threader down on the magnet and have it handy

-Needle threader


Section 2:

-Needle Twister - this thing totally rocks and I want one for each size of needles!

-Magentic needle case

-Assorted sewing needles


Section 3:

-Needle minder from Maggies Minders

-Hem clips - I got mine in a vintage sewing box from an estate sale. They are perfect for clipping back extra aida to keep it out of the way

I have a switch backpack , it’s lovely for travel, can carry up to 8 joy cons (2 attached to the switch and 6 pockets), lots of pockets for everything and room for others. People have mentioned to not carry it in a visibly licensed product in big cities, but you could remove the licensing with a seam ripper and a patient and careful hand. I got a glass screen protector , it comes with 2 and I got this small case to basically protect it around the house. They have larger small cases that carry more than just the switch, there is also a Zelda themed case and as of right now Walmart has it on sale for the physical copy of the game.

I asked this on raw denim yesterday but want to solicit additional opinion before I dive in:

​

Does anyone have any experience with removing stitching from denim? I've been wearing in some nudies since July. While I liked the signature back pocket stitching at first, I'm not in love with it anymore. I personally think it's kinda gaudy, but I also understand it's part of the nudie "look" and that many people probably love it.

I bought this to try to remove it, but I'm curious if anyone has experience doing this and how it turned out.

I use one similar to this and it's been a game changer. Super sharp and easy to open up seams. I find a good pair of tweezers or hemostats help in getting rid of the thread ends

I'd agree with what others have said - it looks pretty good. The sleeves should not be rolled so neatly. I typically like to roll them two or three times until the opening closes up against my forearm, then just push them the rest of the way up just past my elbow. People here have pointed out the contrasting bands on the sleeves. I personally don't think it would look great to roll your sleeves up to cover them. Without seeing what it looks like I would guess that in order to get the bands hidden securely enough so that they'll remain hidden as your sleeves unroll, you'd have to roll them well above your elbow. I think that is too high. I could be wrong though. Try it out and see if you like it.

If you don't want the arm bands showing, I would just remove them rather than trying to hide them. A seam ripper is pretty cheap and easy to use so you shouldn't have too much trouble taking the bands off (assuming that they are sewn on). If you like them though, keep them. I'm personally not a fan of them, but I don't think they detract from the outfit and they're not really worth worrying too much over.

Edit: Fixed my shitty link.

for stubborn threads (and to not waste sheets of lint rollers) also get one of these it'll save your life :) https://www.amazon.com/Dritz-665D-Seam-Fix-Ripper-Purple/dp/B00UY15X2K/ref=sr_1_fkmr3_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1524661291&sr=8-1-fkmr3&keywords=rubber+tipped+seam+ripper

Buy a seam ripper, and just get rid of it

I have removed the labels from all of my shirts, trousers, underwear...

Unless you are inordinately clumsy (and I am) you'll never damage the clothes using a seam ripper

This is the actual Amazon product description. Some of the reviews also comment on the "ear wax tool." Maybe it's just a weird way to get rid of overstock?

Get a stitch ripper. It takes 2 minutes to do it, I've done it to all my clothes to remove the logos.

Nah i mean, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hemline-H261-Premium-Ripper-Safety/dp/B003F6YT76 that kinda thing

For the fabric covers the logos are stitched on, so if you get yourself one of these bad boys you should be good to go. The logos on the other ones look printed, so maybe a light abrasive?

Is it embroidered on the bag, or is it a patch?

If it's embroidered, leave it or put a patch over it.　It'll look like shit if you remove it.

If it's a patch, go to a sewing store and get a seam ripper.
