Scissors were then a revelation. So much so, that when a dear friend got her sewing machine I bought her a pair of Fiskars scissors to go with it. Well, she paid the traditional penny!mammafairyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08970531305586032149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589391921788659741.post-16185383971284583442013-04-16T22:54:56.723-07:002013-04-16T22:54:56.723-07:00At the moment I only have cheap supermarket scisso...At the moment I only have cheap supermarket scissors, not dressmaking scissors at all.

Mum hoped that having two pairs and the bright bold orange handles would make them easier to find, but alas, everyone wants to use them! I first grasped a pair of Fiskars' scissors when 'borrowing' my mum's to cut paper for a school project. Since then, I have managed to accquire a couple pairs of my own, including the needlework scissors which are my current favourite, and look forward to adding more to my collection!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589391921788659741.post-2708529015516562782013-04-16T11:11:17.993-07:002013-04-16T11:11:17.993-07:00I fist used Fiskars Scissors at a school I worked ...I fist used Fiskars Scissors at a school I worked in about 15 years ago - they were so lovely to use.
