When it comes to cooking, cleaning, crafting, or sewing, we LOVE a multitasking tool. Don’t get us wrong, specialized tools hang all over our studio walls (and even have assigned slots in drawers), but multitaskers like us tend to live in our going-out bags, on the sides of our workspaces, and on the arms of the couch.
