Show and Tell Tuesday...Bendable Ruler

I have discovered a new tool that is becoming my favorite...a bendable ruler.  I picked it up at an art store, it's 24" long (I think they come shorter), and it's BENDABLE! - the best feature ever.

 I was trying to figure out how to measure a pocket so that I could make one and the bendable ruler was just what I needed to figure out the size...perfect!

 The new pocket will go on a bag I'm making for a friend...the elephants are so fun.
