Yes, there's another finish here at Chez Magpie and an addition to the 2020 Christmas box. Several of you 'almost' guessed what I was creating!

I fell in like with some beautiful embroidery scissors and simply HAD to create a special pouch to hold them. This is number one of a series of three. And here are the scissors that started all this in the first place....

Yes, I was close with the needle case idea. Lovely idea for keeping your embroidery scissors. Thanks for the links.
ReplyDeleteA needle case with a twist!
DeleteThat's lovely. What are the dimensions? I didn't guess right,but I did get the pockets and folds bit.
ReplyDeleteYou were close with your guess though. As for dimensions - it measures approx. 5 1/2 x 7" closed and 5 1/2" x 15 open.
DeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the inspiration.
I remember now you are the blog that gave me the idea, and incentive, to make gifts this year, birthdays, and holidays.
Well I guess I should be happy that I've given you an idea/incentive when there's a whole lot of worse things I could be guilty of!
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely! I didn't write down a guess, but I was thinking along the lines of your fabulous postcards, only maybe bigger - like a folding card with possibly a fabric "frame" on the inside to hold a photograph. But I love your finished object :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm - now that's a good idea! Might have to ponder on that one for future reference.
DeleteIt's beautiful! Christmas gifts already? You are good!
ReplyDeleteI work on Christmas gifts pretty much all year and then I put them away in the box and forget about them, so it's a Christmas present for me too when I open the box and get ready to wrap things.
DeleteIt turned out beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Hopefully someone will like it at Christmas time.
DeleteNot just useful but beautiful as well.
ReplyDeleteWe all need a little more beauty in our lives!
DeleteIt's beautiful! Perfectly fitting for those pretty scissors. That granny heart pattern is a favorite of mine. Reminds me I really ought to TRY to decorate a little for the seasons. Going to find my valentine-y things and put some around tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteYes, those scissors deserved a pretty case...or at least that's my idea anyway. Just have to get a packet of needles and the gift is complete. No seasonal decorations here I'm afraid - no room to store them.
DeleteWhat a beautiful finish! This is going to make someone lucky a fabulous gift! The scissors are really gorgeous! Hope you are enjoying a lovely weekend! Christine xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine! Hopefully the recipient I have in mind will like it.
DeleteLovely finish and colors and embroidery. The scissors look right at home, Mary Ann.
ReplyDeleteThank you Janie - those scissors were too pretty to pass up!
DeleteMA Dear your beautiful CQ Scissor case is making me swoon. And...those little scissors are sew pretty! You really are a Master at CQ piecing and embroidery! Simply Divine.
ReplyDeleteAwww...kind words Sherry, thank you. I fell in like with those scissors when I saw them so had to create something using them.
DeleteThis is so beautiful, I love the colours and how you put it together!
