Used in tailoring and dressmaking for centuries, the awl (such as our Bone Awl ) is a useful tool for creating eyelet holes by opening the weave of the fabric without cutting. This results in a stronger eyelet able to hold up to continuous strain as evidenced by the many stays we have examined. This Bone Awl can also come in handy for pressing linen and making thread Dorset buttons. This awl is copied from originals we have studied and measures 3 1/2 inches Show more
