Tutorial: Quilted scissors case

Dawn Cornell shares a tutorial at Moda Bake Shop showing how to make this quilted scissors case. The quilted layers create a thick pouch that will cover the sharp point of your scissors. You can make it from two 5″ squares (plus batting, button, and ribbon), so you can dig through your scrap bin to find all the fabrics you need to make this. They sew up quickly. One of these pouches and a pair of new snippy scissors would make an awesome gift for a sewy or quilty friend. Go to Moda Bake Shop for the tutorial.
