kangasmõõdulind

Kangasmõõdulind, also known as a fabric measuring tape or tailor's tape, is a flexible, soft measuring tool used for measuring lengths of material, particularly in sewing and tailoring. Unlike rigid rulers or metal tapes, a kangasmõõdulind is designed to conform to curves and irregular shapes, making it ideal for body measurements and garment construction. Typically made from fabric, plastic-coated fiberglass, or a similar pliable material, these tapes are marked with units of measurement, most commonly centimeters and inches.

The primary advantage of a kangasmõõdulind is its flexibility. This allows users to accurately measure around body parts like the waist, hips, and bust, as well as to lay out and cut fabric patterns without distortion. They are often lightweight and easily rolled up for storage. Many kangasmõõdulind designs feature markings on both sides, offering both metric and imperial units, and may include additional markings for common pattern-making measurements. These tools are essential for anyone involved in dressmaking, upholstery, or any craft that requires precise fabric measurement. They are generally inexpensive and readily available at sewing supply stores and online retailers.
