New gadget day

Today was new gadget day! A notch cutter! I like very much. It will help with pattern making indubitably. I quite like that some tools have only one very specific purpose. You may be thinking that all tools have one use and Jen, you’re crazy with such talk. Well, a saw can cut things, sure, but they can cut all sorts of things and also be a straight edge and a right angle on occasion. A hammer can bash things changing its shape or drive nails in to something else creating a join or, if it’s a claw hammer, un-join things. There are other tools that do have only one purpose too but I like my little notch cutter. It cuts notches into paper pattern pieces to make registration marks easier to mark. That’s all it does, it’s sole purpose…or should that be soul purpose? I can imagine a little notch cutter soul, being thankful everyday for being able to cut notches. ‘Nuff said.😁
