Retractable Sewing Tape Measure, Pastel Pocket Size

One press to measure, one press to tidy away

• One press to measure

  The centre push-button releases the tape, so one hand does the whole job. Press, draw out to the mark, read, and let go. The tape glides back into the case without a tangle, which means you never stop to re-roll it before the next cut.

• Round, pocket-sized case

  The case is round and small enough for a pocket or the rim of a pincushion tray. Keep one by the machine, one in your bag, and stop searching the table for the tape you put down five minutes ago.

• A tab that hooks on

  A small tab sits on the tape end. Hook it over a fabric edge or a hem fold and you can measure on your own, no second pair of hands needed. The colour range lets you match the tape to your sewing room.

Four moves from fabric edge to measured mark

1. 1
   Hook the tab

   Catch the small tab on the edge of the fabric or the hem fold you want to check.

2. 2
   Press the centre button

   Press the centre button and draw the tape out at a steady pace until you reach the mark.

3. 3
   Read the mark

   Read the measure at your hem line or the point of fit, then note it on your pattern.

4. 4
   Let it retract

   Release the button and let the tape glide back into the round case. Guide it with your fingers if the tab lands on fabric.
