These charming scissors purses are so cute to wear and
attract complements even from those who don’t stitch.
The finishing is all done by hand and the chart includes
step-by-step instructions with color photos of each part of
the process. Following the directions will give easily
repeatable results each time. The models are stitched on
36 count Mocha linen from Weeks Dye Works. You
may certainly stitch on 28 or 32 count linen, but will
need a larger purse frame. The purse frames are from

and Antique Silver. Larger purse frames are available at
Lacis.
