seam ripper
Sewing mistake fixer
A seam ripper is a small handheld sewing tool with a pointed blade designed to cut and remove stitches.
The blade typically has a sharp curved hook that slides under thread to slice it cleanly.
Essential for correcting sewing mistakes, opening buttonholes, or taking apart garments for alteration: I had to use a seam ripper to undo the crooked zipper.
