The Dritz Bound Button-Hole Maker (Model #556) is a vintage dressmaking tool from the mid-20th century designed to simplify the complex process of creating precise, professional-looking bound buttonholes.
Kit Overview
- Purpose: Bound buttonholes are a classic tailoring detail where the raw edges of the buttonhole are finished with fabric welts rather than heavy stitching. This tool guides the fabric alignment and cutting lines perfectly.
- The "Can't Lose" Pins: A key selling point of this specific model was the inclusion of specialized long, secure pins that locked the fabric and tool template in place so nothing would shift during sewing.
- Era: Primarily manufactured and sold around the 1950s and 1960s by the John Dritz & Sons company.
Condition: New, old stock. Some minor signs of age/handling to packaging.
