Well, Facebook really got it right for once with this suggestion. Classic, beautiful and traditional handmade tailoring tools, some completely new to me such as the wooden designs of chalk sharpeners.

They supply to Savile Row (read their About information) so on the pricey side but the banner says 20% Fash Sale!
Hopefully back more regularly! Ballroom sewing may be permanently paused but bag making is the current focus.

It has popped up on my FB page too. I had no idea there was such a thing as a chalk sharpener.

Chalk sharpeners are new to me but they make perfect sense - any time you see a tailor on TV their chalk lines are always clear and precise.  Not sure I can justify £64 though  :o

I use hemline chalk with an integrated sharpener like this and just use a normal pencil sharpener for the pencil chalks
It's not easy being this perfekt
