Whether You’re Measuring Your Biceps or Making Your Own Clothes, This Measuring Tape is the Perfect Tool
Two big things happened in the last year (probably more than two, but we’ll stick with two for today): I had four surgeries that significantly changed my body composition, and I learned how to knit. You may think these are unrelated, but I can assure you, as a newly formed knitting obsessive, I can make knitting related to anything.
The connective thread here is body measurements, and the tools with which to do so. I had to send my measurements to my surgeon’s office before every procedure so they could order compression garments for me, and as you can imagine, you have to measure your body when you make clothes… for your body. (Sidenote: I would NOT recommend knitting garments for your body while your body is drastically changing, but also, the beautiful thing about knitting is that you can just unravel it and make it again, like I am doing with the sweater I made last Summer.)
Measuring your own bicep, for example, can be tricky business. You have to hold one end and then wrap and then read… you know how a measuring tape works. But with the Perfect Body Measuring Tape, you just have to pull the tape out, slip the end into the body of the measuring tape, press the button to tighten the tape, and read the number. The design automatically adds the measurement of the tape measure holder to the tape, so you know what you read is accurate. You can easily measure with one hand, which makes this perfect for things like biceps, wrists, or hard to reach spots. It’s also been amazing for getting an idea of what a sleeve circumference will look like in real life.
The tape also works as a normal, straight line measuring tape, so if you’re not a crafter who has an ungodly amount of measuring tapes around (I need them all, I swear), you can buy one Perfect Body Measuring Tape and have all your measuring needs met. The tape goes to 80” (~203cm) so it’s also, by industry standards, size inclusive. Perfect, easy, body and garment measurements that you can do one-handed, for $10? This might be, truly, a Perfect Body Measuring Tape.
