I like to make fold-up fabric organizer boxes with bow-tie corners for storing small items in kitchen and dresser drawers or anywhere else a bright and pretty colored organizer is needed.
In the past, when crafting the ties, it sometimes became a challenge to pull the needle through dense fabrics because of the weight of the ribbon.
Well not any more, thanks to a plunger-style needle puller with a bright yellow handle available from Clotilde's (item #221006).
Imported from Holland, this wonderful gadget is much safer than poking your finger, and way more fun to use than a pair of pliers, which might damage your needle. At first, I thought that $13.95 was a rather steep price for such a little tool, but after trying it now I agree with the catalog description that "You have to use it to believe it!"
This needle puller is a must for anyone who does crafts. Storage is not a problem, because the comfortable looped handle hangs nicely anywhere - I usually toss mine over a plastic hook on my peg board. If you prefer, it is the perfect size and shape to store in your sewing basket where the bright color is a plus in making it easy to find.
