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
