A flat-head pin includes: (a) a pin shaft with a pin point; (b) a flat pin head affixed to an end of the pin shaft distal to the pin point; wherein the flat pin head is characterized by a cuboid shape, preferably a tapered cuboid shape with a plurality of transverse gripping ribs spaced a distance, s, from each other. The flat pin head is characterized by a tapered cuboid shape with a plurality of transverse gripping ribs spaced a distance, s, preferably wherein the distance s is relatively large and there are relatively few gripping ribs, such as 3-5 transverse gripping ribs.

A pin includes: (a) a pin shaft with a pin point; (b) an elongate pin head attached to an end of the pin shaft distal to the pin point having a pin head length, wherein the elongate pin head is characterized by an elongate tapered ribbed construction with a plurality of ribs defining a rib profile extending from an outer end of the elongate pin head distal to the pin shaft to an inner end of the elongate pin head proximate the pin shaft, said rib profile having a characteristic outer end dimension which is larger than a characteristic inner end dimension of the rib profile proximate the pin shaft, said elongate pin head being further characterized by a plurality of outwardly projecting gripping rings located a distance from the outer end of the pin head toward the inner end of the pin head.

Sewing thimble

A bobbin and spool management system includes a bobbin topper having a central disc with upwardly and downwardly extending stanchions projecting therefrom, each being capped with a mushroom bolster and having a medially located chamfered collar. The upwardly projecting stanchion is adapted to mate with an axial bore in the barrel of a bobbin and retain the bobbin while the downwardly projecting stanchion is adapted to penetrate the axial bore in the barrel of a supply spool and be retained on the supply spool.

A thread conditioner and cutter includes (a) a base unit with (i) a planar divider for supporting a thread conditioning composition; (ii) a plurality of upper sidewall segments spaced apart from each other to define upper slots extending upwardly from the planar divider as well as defining an upper cavity of the base unit; (iii) a lower sidewall extending downwardly from the planar divider thereby defining an underside cavity, wherein the lower sidewall has a plurality of opposing thread notches at an upper edge thereof at a lower end of the upper slots of the upper sidewall segments as well as a pair of opposing lower slots extending upwardly from a lower edge of the lower sidewall; and (iv) a cutting blade disposed at one of said opposing slots at a first distance from the lower edge of the lower sidewall and wherein the slot opposed to the slot with the cutting blade extends a second distance from the lower edge of the lower sidewall which is greater than the first distance from the lower edge of the lower sidewall of the cutting blade.

A case for tailor's chalk includes: (a) a generally triangular base with a central portion, a retaining pocket along one edge thereof, said pocket opening toward the center of said triangular base and a pair of offset base hinge elements adjacent the pocket located adjacent opposed ends of said pocket along said one edge of said base; and (b) a generally triangular lid shaped and adapted to mate with the base and hinged thereto by a pair of mating offset lid hinge elements located along one edge of said generally triangular lid, said lid hinge elements being snap-fit mateable with said base hinge elements, the offset between said generally triangular base and said generally triangular lid being sufficient to define a storage cavity for the chalk in a closed position, the lid having a central portion opposing the central portion of the base in said closed position, the lid being coupled to the base so as to be rotatable with respect thereto to an open position where the lid is rotated by 180° with respect to the closed position and the chalk is accessible and wherein further the lid is rotatable with respect to the base to a work stand position where the lid is rotated by more than 270° with respect to the closed position such that the base is in an erect open position leaning at least slightly rearwardly where the chalk is accessible to a user.

A thimble includes a flexible tapered sleeve and a crown. The sleeve has a frustoconical shape with a fluted sidewall. Multiple outwardly convex panels extend entirely around the sidewall. The sleeve has a mounting end opposite an opening for inserting a user's digit. The sleeve has a pitch of from 0.175 mm/mmL to 0.35 mm/mmL. The crown is formed of hard plastic material and is attached to the mounting end of the sleeve. The crown has a cap with an upper textured planar surface. A ridged sidewall extends entirely around the crown. Multiple longitudinal ridges extend from a lower edge of the sidewall to the cap. The thimble accommodates a variety of finger sizes and the crown prevents slippage of a sewing needle.

A combination measuring tape/chalk marker holder includes a main housing and a chalk retention pocket. The main housing has a main housing shell with a base and a back plate. The main housing is an equilateral triangular prismatic body with two outwardly curved lateral walls meeting at an apex. Within the housing, a locking reel holding a flexible measuring tape is releasably engaged with a locking hub formed on the back plate. The measuring tape extends through a portal formed in one of the outwardly curved lateral walls. The chalk retention pocket is fixed to and extends from the back plate. The pocket has a base parallel to and coextensive with the main housing base, two parallel lateral walls, and a flexible chalk retention member. The chalk retention pocket is flexible and removably retains a convex lensate marking body. A rotatable foot enables the holder to stand erect.

Beading pliers, having a pair of engageable jaws pivotable about a journal cylinder, are provided with handles. Each handle has an outwardly curving handle core surrounded by a silicone gel filled retention tube encompassed by a cover tube comprising silicone rubber having a thickness of between about 3 and about 7 mm, the end of each pliable cover tube spaced from the journal being closed. The open ends of the pliable cover tube and the retention tube are sealed by an annular collar extending round the handle core. A flexible, inwardly curving leaf spring, retained by each collar, urges the jaws out of engagement when the handles are urged together.
