Here’s how it works:
Step-by-Step Hack: Use It as a Mini Bodkin
Open the safety pin (like normal).
Thread a thin cord, ribbon, or elastic through the tiny hole — not the main clasp.
Close the pin — now the cord is securely attached to the pin.
Pull it through the hem or casing — the smooth metal glides easily.
Unhook the pin when done — no knots, no hassle.
💡 Think of it as a built-in threading tool — no extra gadgets needed.
✂️ Why This Trick Is a Game-Changer
✅ No need for a bodkin or safety pin tape
Saves time and tools
✅ Prevents elastic from twisting
Keeps it straight as it moves through fabric
✅ Works with narrow ribbons or shoelaces
Even delicate trims won’t slip off
✅ Great for blind hems, waistbands, sleeves
Perfect for DIY clothing repairs or crafts
📌 Especially helpful for:
Sewing elastic into pajama pants
Threading cording into hoodies
Attaching pull strings to backpacks or pouches
No more fumbling with tape or losing the end inside the fabric!
