"Every child who sews with a will should have a wee birdie to help with his bill." An exact replica of the "hemming clamp" made for Marshall Field's in 1890, and found in Grandma's basket since 1853... this is the fellow who first introduced Mary Frances to the Thimble People in the best-selling sewing book.

Commonly used in the Victorian home, this "third hand" clamps to a table while the beak holds the fabric to be sewn. Depressing the tail releases the beak.. Forged from solid brass, a useful accessory for hemming, embroidery, pinning, or a delightful decorative! Brassplated. 4 1/2". Back by popular request! !
