Class Title: Elegant Scissors Case
Teacher: Margaret Bendig

This project is fun and moves along at a good pace. Once you have stitched a row or two, the pattern for that section is easy to remember. Great project for a “take along” but even better when finished and it holds your necessary stitching tools.

There are three different main patterns, the bottom front of the case, the back and the top flap of the design. There are eyelets, woven stitches, Amadeus heart and other stitches in this design. The case is a tri-fold that opens to reveal a pocket to hold your scissors, laying tool and a small ruler. With a wool page to hold your needles, you are ready to stitch anywhere you like.  Come join me and stitch your very own Elegant Scissors Case. There are 6 colors to choose from.
