which means when Friday gets here I’m going to feel like I’m working on a Saturday 🙁
Since I still don’t have an iron, and I’m so anal (yes, Darla, I admit it, I’m anal about stitchy things! 😆 ) about ironing my fabric before I measure twice and cut once, I didn’t get to start on my ornament stitching last night. I was a good girl, though, and put all my Summer Queen stuff away before pulling out (the now no longer available) The Cat’s Whiskers Red Desert Scissor Pocket and stitching on it while watching/listening to the end of The Two Towers and beginning of Return of the King. I had forgotten that I purchased fabric and dupioni to re-create it in a blue-green version for some other Gingher scissors I had purchased not long after the 2006 scissor pocket design came out.
If I remember correctly, the reason I stopped stitching on this was because Melissa had sent hers off for finishing and the finisher had a hard time making it fit the scissors it was designed for. I am determined to do the finishing myself (the instructions look easy enough to follow) but I will be really disappointed if they don’t fit my scissors.
Gotta drag M out iron shopping though. Maybe tonight?
As it turns out, the only reason she was having a problem was she left the sheath on the scissors. It added just enough extra length that it made the fit seem odd. With the sheath off, they fit perfectly! 🙂
I’d be happy to do the finishing for you! I have finished a couple of those Cat Whisker’s scissors holders; I have a slightly different finishing technique than the instructions in the chart, but it works for me – I just need to find a picture to show you…
