A seam ripper is a small sewing tool used to carefully remove seams, unpick stitches, open buttonholes, and correct mistakes when sewing.

🔧 What it looks like:

Usually it's a handle with a curved metal tip in the shape of a hook. One "tooth" of the hook has a sharp blade, and the other has a ball (so as not to damage the fabric).

🧵 What it's for:

Rip a seam without damaging the fabric

Remove unsuccessful stitches

Open buttonholes

Pick up and remove threads after machine stitching

This is an indispensable thing in the arsenal of anyone who sews - from a beginner to a professional ✂️
