A clear ruler is also a good tool for marking buttonholes. L-square - The tailor square or "L" is used to transfer measurements to the draft pattern. It also divides the garment into the desired measurement. It has perfect angles and is useful in making straight lines and numbers. It can also function as a tape measure.
