Just wanted to tell you

not to overlook or readily dismiss some items. I made

these scissor cases from some of the most unlikely

sources. Although the 'potholders' make large cases

to hold your scissors or your rotary cutter - you might be

lucky to find a very small potholder to hold small

scissors. The idea for these scissor cases surprised me.

 Take a look at your towels - thats right. They are

right under your nose. I have 2 hand towels and one

wash cloth. The little 4-patch on the wash cloth was

4.5 inches square. It was just perfect for a case for

my small embroidery scissors.

The other 2 hand towels 4-patch were 5.5

inches square. It holds scissors that were a little

bit larger than my small embroidery scissors.

 These little 4-patches were backed with cotton.

This is what they looked like when I cut them away

from the hand towel and the wash cloth. Lucky me!

Now my bare hand towel and washcloth are lonely!

Too bad - I like the little 4-patches as my scissor cases better.
