Tracy:

This sounds like the same one I have.  I think I got mine from Independence Market.  I think Horizons for the Blind also has them and their things are usually reasonably priced

Just for fun, I went to Amazon and put in "tactile tape measure" and they have the one I have.  It's 60 inches long, with eyelets to mark the half inch and bigger eyelets for the inch. It costs $25, which is rather silly, as it's not at all complicated.  On the other hand, mine has lasted many years already and should last many more.
I copied the link:

Hello! I’m working with a lady who lives by me who is teaching me to sew, but she’s not visually impaired or anything. She is suggesting that I get measuring tape, etc. Which makes sense! I actually have some of it, but not in a tactile version. 

Does anyone have a list of must-have sewing tools for blind sewers? Or tips for how to use a traditional pattern from the store? She was marking the fabric with chalk but I couldn’t see it. I have some vision, but it’s not amazing. Any suggestions would be helpful!

Best wishes & happy thanksgiving! 

Kit
