This week’s tutorial is super quick and easy! I came up with this little scissors keeper/case/shield project to help label and distinguish between my paper and fabric scissors. They are especially handy when I travel with my supplies.
Have you ever had someone grab your fabric cutting shears and use them to cut paper, open a package of batteries or something else?! I’m sure you can relate! So…… this is a great way to label your scissors so everyone knows which is which. This also helps protect your clothes, projects, and anything else you put in your bags when you travel to a class, retreat, or to a sew day with friends. It’s a great scrap busting project and you can whip these up in just minutes! It would also make a great little swap gift for a crafty friend!

Vanessa, just love your video tutorials for the cute sewing extras you have been making, ex. scissor covers, bowls, etc. Handy items for the sewing room and kitchen. Thanks again.

I don’t seem to have a thumbs up button on either this site or your CG Creates site. So, I’ll just say good tutorial – the video quality is especially good!

Hi Vanessa,
I just listened to the podcast interview you did with Abby G. and I loved it! Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm and encouragement! and, I just got some new scissors, so I will try this project! Thanks again for sharing!

Love this! At my house it is known that you do not touch the scissors in my studio! Since my son was 3 he has he his own scissors and access to others in the house. Now my grandson at 5 has been trained in proper use of scissors, and has been given his first pair of scissors, even he knows to not touch my studio scissors!

Off topic question. Vanessa do you own a vintage singer treadle machine that is human powered? I”m looking into purchasing one. Never know when or if the electricity ever went out. I would hate to not be able to sew and I’ve always wanted to sew on one of these old machines.

The box with information on where to purchase the foam was not listed at the bottom of the tut.
All my friends who saw my repost laughed cause the know what stickler I am about my scissors.

Thanks, Vanessa! My very first CG project and I love it! Just getting back into sewing after a 40-year hiatus so I needed something not too challenging. I think now I will adapt this idea to making a sheath for my rotary cutter. You inspire me!
Aida Rizzo
Never found the information that you said would be posted at the bottom. So far I am
unable to find the “foam” you used. I could make lots of these. Like the one for the
rotary cutter.

Hi Vanessa. Looking forward to making the scissor cover but what I could really use is a tutorial for making cast iron pan handle covers. I have recently started using these pans and I love them but the handles get really hot! Do you have a tutorial for those by any chance? Thanks for your wonderful tutorials btw I find them very inspiring.

Just getting ready to make my third scissors keeper. I made some for granddaughters when I gifted them with their own sewing scissors to go with a sewing machine that I gave them.. then I adapted the pattern to make an eyeglass case for my purse (using 7×7 inch pieces , same procedure. I love your videos because the explanations are excellent and the end products are perfect. I have been wearing your fleece beanies for years.
