Default Tape Measure?
This is a really dumb question, lol. Where can I find a tape measurer that fits around my fat? lol... Mine only goes up to 30 inches and I end up having to double up and I have no idea if my numbers are staying anywhere close to accurate.. lol. Driving me nuts!

Hmmm I have a dressmaker's tape measure that goes up to 60". You should be able to find one in any homeware store I bet. I think you just have a short one!

I got three cheap little sewing tapes in the dollar store. I'm always losing one so three was safe (for a while). They're 60" too.
