The tape measure just might be the most important and least celebrated tool in my sewing basket. I use it every time I'm laying out a pattern on top of a yardage of fabric. It's essential for making sure the pattern pieces are placed on the grain. I use it to check the yardage of a piece of fabric before deciding if it's going to work on a project. And I certainly use it to check body measurements and make alterations.

Then there is the measuring tape motif that can certainly be added to a design. A walk through the notions section of the fabric store often offers measuring tape print ribbons.

Or how about a measuring tape printed fabric? There are so many ways to celebrate National Tape Measure Day! Which way will you go?
Happy Sewing!
