Groovy Seam Ripper

Nancy Townsend

2633 Creek Rd.
 Chittenango, NY 13037
Phone: 315-591-5954

I make and sell colorful, hand crafted Groovy Seam Rippers (GSR) with a small ripper blade at one end and a stiletto at the opposite end. Both ends store safely inside the handle when not in use. I have over 200 blanks that I can ‘turn’ into the handle of a GSR for your use when un-sewing. There are many uses besides removing unwanted stitches. Perhaps using a beautiful GSR will make this task more pleasant. GSR are like a piece of jewelry that has a purpose. It’s a perfect gift for yourself or for a friend. Please visit my Facebook page for color choices and ordering information. Thank you.
