How To Make A Pressing Ham & More Pressing Tools
Calling all sewers & crafters: Today’s feature is from the University of Kentucky with a fabulous pdf file filled with info on How To Make Your Own Pressing Equipment (pdf)
You’ll find instructions for how to make the following pressing tools:
- Tailor’s Ham (also known as a Pressing Ham or Dressmaker’s Ham)
- Seam Board & Point Presser
- Seam Roll (two different patterns)
- Pressing Mitt
- Clapper
The pattern graphics aren’t to size and are rough, but the directions are easy to follow. By using extra pieces of fabric and wood on hand, these can save you a pile of money. Terrific!
