Tailor`s PRESSING TOOLS Sewing Pattern

Description

The Tailor’s Pressing Tools Sewing Pattern collection offers a complete guide to crafting professional-grade ironing equipment. Such tools are essential for achieving crisp, perfectly shaped seams and a high-end finish on any garment.

Our Double-Layer Technology ensures every piece remains durable, heat-resistant, and firm enough for heavy-duty tailoring. Even as a beginner, you can easily create these professional tools to upgrade your sewing room with essential, handcrafted equipment.

Pressing Tools Collection Details & Key Features

These patterns focus on making tools that actually last. Here is what makes the Tailor’s Pressing Tools Sewing Pattern special:

• Double-Layer Design: You will sew each tool with both an outer fabric and a strong lining. This makes them extra tough and keeps them firm.
• Sawdust Filling: The instructions show you how to pack the tools with hardwood sawdust to get that perfectly hard surface for pressing.
• Practical Shapes: You get five different shapes designed to help with everything from long sleeve seams to curved bust darts.

This set includes patterns for five essential pressing tools:

• Seam Roll — for pressing seams in sleeves and narrow areas.
• Pear-shaped Ham — for pressing armholes, necklines, and collars.
• Kidney Ham — for shaping darts, waistlines, and hip curves.
• Round Ham — for pressing large curved areas and bust seams.
• Pressing Pad — for protecting hands during steaming and pressing small details.

• Easy to Sew: The construction is very simple, so even a beginner can get a clean, symmetrical shape without any trouble.

Materials for Your Pressing Tools Collection

To create the full set of five professional tools, you will need the following materials:

• Outer Fabric: 90 cm (35″) of high-quality cotton satin or heavy linen (min. width 140 cm / 55″). Make sure the fabric is natural, heat-resistant, and colorfast.
• Two-Sided Option: If you want decorative two-sided tools, you can use 45–50 cm (0.5 yard) of two different fabrics instead.
• Lining Fabric: 90 cm (35″) of light to medium-weight natural cotton, such as calico or white cotton (min. width 140 cm / 55″).
• Thread: Use a strong sewing thread that matches your fabric color.
• Filling: Fine sawdust from deciduous (hardwood) trees.
• Pro Tip: Clean sawdust sold in pet stores for small rodents is an excellent, easy-to-find option.

Quantity Note: The 90 cm of fabric specified above is plenty to create all five tools in this collection when you follow the grainline layout.

• Hand sewing needle for closing the opening.
• Steam iron or steam generator to shape the tool.
• Fabric marker or tailor’s chalk to transfer pattern markings.
