Body measuring tape?

idauria

Where can I find one? I would like to be able to measure my progress(assuming there is any). Where's the best place to find a good measuring tape? Do I have to go to a sporting goods store or do you think places like Target will carry them? Also, do you have any recommendations on a specific kind or are they all the same?

Thanks in advance!

you could try joann fabrics or michaels(if you have those stores around you)

all tape measures are the same... I have two, one in the shape of a bumblebee which came with my knitting magazine and onother with a pretty pattern of rose on that came with a cros stitch magazine, but you can get them everywhere. The haberdashery department in any big store will have a basic tape measure for like a dollar. My first basic one came from Atkinsons (a department store).

You might look in the 'sewing' section at Target. I don't actually know if sporting goods stores carry them.
I think any place that has safety pins and other sewing notions would have them.

Good luck! :flowerforyou:

You can find them with the sewing notions in supermarkets and fabric /craft stores. I've not found them in Target, but maybe they have them there as well.

Or you can look for something online, like Myotape.

dollar store, target, wal mart or any fabric store should have them

sewing kit at the dollar store. Per haps cross check with a ruler to make sure its not wonky or anything before you use it.

you probably could get one from a sporting good, or athletic apperal. store. all I use is a plain old measuring tape I picked up in the sewing section of a local walmart. it measures the same as one from a fancy shop, and only cost about $2.00

Beware the ones that come in sewing kits at the supermarket - some of them are made with paper. I would also avoid a cloth one - they will stretch over time. A good (as in not too thin) vinyl tape is going to give you long-term service. Fabric stores are a sure bet.

I've gotten mine for free online.. I've since lost my last one, so I just did another search for "free measuring tape" and a few different sites came up.

Just get a flexible measuring tape over by the sewing supplies. You can get them from 1-3 dollars.
