NEW MetalGoose!
I’m so excited to introduce you to a brand that truly understands what makers need—MetalGoose.
As someone who values quality tools that feel as good as they perform, I was blown away by this line. Every piece—from their scissors to their rotary cutters—is crafted with precision, intention, and a deep love for the craft. You can feel the difference the moment you pick one up.
These tools are made in-house with top-of-the-line steel and incredible attention to detail. Whether you're snipping fine threads or making bold fabric cuts, MetalGoose tools are designed to support your creativity at every step.
I’m thrilled to be carrying this line—not just because they’re beautiful and sharp (though they are), but because they were made by people who truly get it. If you’ve been looking for that next-level tool that makes your work smoother, sharper, and more enjoyable, this might be it.
I didn’t know what I was missing until this little tool came into my life.
It’s cute, it’s clever, and honestly—it’s so handy. The Compact Cut and Measure combines a 28mm rotary cutter with a built-in tape measure, all in one perfectly portable little package.
It’s got a comfortable grip that works whether you’re right- or left-handed, and the safety lock means you can toss it in your kit without worry. Whether you're trimming fabric or paper, it makes quick work of the task without taking up space.
It may be small, but this tool pulls its weight—and then some. Definitely one of those things you didn’t know you needed… until now.

These pinking shears are one of those tools you don’t realize you needed—until you try them.
With their professional-grade 9" blades and premium PVD-coated stainless steel, they deliver clean, precise cuts and hold up beautifully over time. I love how smooth they feel, and the rust resistance is a huge bonus if you’re like me and use your tools constantly.
The ergonomic handle design makes them super comfortable to use, even during those longer cutting sessions. Whether you’re finishing seams or adding decorative edges, these shears are a trusty staple I always reach for.

Let me tell you—this tool has been a total game-changer for me.
If you're someone like me who deals with arthritis or just tired, achy hands, you know how exhausting cutting can be. That’s why I’m so excited about this little powerhouse. The MGES01 makes slicing through everything from fabric and paper to carpet and leather so much easier. It’s fast, smooth, and saves your hands from the usual strain.
Whether you're working on a big batch of projects or just want to make your crafting life a little more comfortable, this cutter is worth every penny. I can’t imagine going back to regular scissors.

Coming from the film industry, I’ve used thread wax for hand stitching for years—but nothing has ever smelled this good.
Sew Fine Thread Gloss isn’t just practical—it’s a little sensory treat while you sew. Made from natural beeswax right here in Canada, it smooths out your thread, reduces tangles and knots, and helps everything glide effortlessly through your fabric.
It’s body-safe, water-soluble, phthalate-free, and small enough to toss in any kit or sewing pouch. Whether you’re stitching on set or at home, it’s one of those little tools that makes a big difference. Honestly, I didn’t know thread wax could be this fun!
