With some money from my mother in-law I got these slick scissors. I absolutely adore them! They cut like a hot knife through butter with all of the fabrics I have used so far. Nothing heavy like denim or wool but I am sure it wouldn't be bothered. Plus, they have a lifetime guarantee; they just have to be sharpened. :D
So very pretty!
Then I have been eying some embroidery scissors because I have tailored a suit jacket and those little corners get tough! I managed it pretty well but it was harder because all I had at the time was some bulks scissors for what I was trying to do.
With a coupon and my monthly allowance I compared online prices to in store. It was cheaper for me to get them at the store with my coupon compared to online though they are normally cheaper online. There was the choice between the crane and regular embroidery scissors but I am not really a bird person. All the more for those who are! :D
So cute and curvy like me!
They came with a little leather covering that protects them and since they are Gingher lifetime warranty! :D Oh man. We get so few things that are a life guarantee these days that I treasure them even more.
2 gingher scissors= 25 bucks spent. :D
That's the regular price of just one of their scissors. I did a happy dance and nearly hugged the cashier but it was AWESOME!
I have been away for a while because I have been busy sewing! :D I tailored four pairs of dress pants and a suit coat. I am currently working on a bathrobe and afterward I have some superhero sweatshirts to whip up before the end of October.
I have more 50% off coupons that I am going to put towards some lining in a dress I will make after or while also making the sweatshirts. I still have birthday money I am planning to buy some more sewing books and some shoes hopefully. :D
Always compare, watch, and strike when necessary for awesome deals! :D Enjoy your week and I'll post about the dress pants next time. :D
