Tutorial: Scrap fabric scissors case

Minki from Minki’s Work Table shares a tutorial showing how she made these beautiful scissors cases. They’ve got batting inside that will keep the sharp ends of the scissors from poking through. You can make them from small pieces of fabric. If your scraps aren’t big enough, do what she did and piece them together. You can make them to fit any size scissors, from small embroidery scissors to cutting shears. This would make such a thoughtful gift for a friend who likes the needle arts.
