I really like this scissors keeper and I hope to make one soon. Thank you so much for the pattern and your very easy-to-follow tutorial. I appreciate it very much.

[@sotakhandmade]

You are so welcome!

[@susanowen1709]

Me again 🙂Well, in the three months since I first saw this video, I've made four scissors keepers. I added zipper tabs & cut the pieces out slightly larger to accommodate them, but otherwise followed your instructions closely and they came out great. Since it only uses a fairly small amount of fabric, it's a terrific way to use up biggish scraps & fat quarters. Now to decide which fabrics to use for the next one...

[@sotakhandmade]

What a great idea. I'm very happy you find this video useful :)

[@wendyreid8845]

Can't stop making these. Made one for my sister-in-law, a sewist, for Christmas. I know she'll love it as she loves her good shears.

[@ruthlamb3700]

Thank You for the tips on sewing in a zipper. Now hopefully my pouches will look professional.

[@sotakhandmade]

You can do it!

[@arohnr]

This is my first time making any sort of zipper pouch and it went great! Thanks for the clear instructions! I'm going to make another one to gift to a friend along with her new pinking shears.

[@sotakhandmade]

Yay 👏👏

[@patriciasasaki5815]

I love watching your tutorials, you make me feel like I can sew anything!! Thank you.

[@alexandra-zaza-burns]

These are really lovely and will make great gifts for friends that sew. I glue down the seam allowances, using a fabric glue pen on the area left open for turning. It keeps them very neat.

[@sotakhandmade]

Great idea!

[@dianeswanson3152]

Great tutorial! Love having a zipper closure.

[@anilovesmeemee]

Thank you for this excellent tute and pattern Svetlana, great timing for those who would like to give a gift to a sewing friend! I sent the video link to a friend this morning and she has already made two!

[@sotakhandmade]

Oh, wow! That’s wonderful yo hear 😁

[@marianwood6272]

Great teacher and instructions! I usually like to read my instructions, but got confused. This tutorial is excellent and very clear. Thank you. My scissor pouch is beautiful.

[@susanowen1709]

Excellent tutorial and a lovely, useful project. I like how you explain why you do certain things, such as shortening the stitch length to keep the stitches smooth & even in the curves.

[@sotakhandmade]

Glad it was helpful!

[@eamonbamon]

Thank you Svetlana, this is genius, I love the way the zipper ends turned out and super idea with the topstitching just on the outer fabric, this makes for a very neat and professional finish. Thank you for your time and expertise and for the template.

[@jancronkite5571]

Excellent video! This is just what I have been looking for to keep my expensive shears and pinking shears safe!

[@lesleygilbert1945]

I've watched and commented on this video before - it's nice to come back and be reminded of how it should be done :)

[@jilldallimore1025]

[@sotakhandmade]

[@may-marydobie8638]

Thank-you for the great tutorial. I love the design as it has a zip to protect your precious scissors,a lot of them don't and they could let the scissors get dirty or damaged.💕

[@cherylgorecki2064]

Brilliant use of freezer paper. i always learn something new from you videos. Thank you👏

[@sotakhandmade]

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial and free pattern. I have longer zippers, do I cut the zipper to total length of 9 inches or bigger. I know that zippers are measured from zipper pull to metal end. Thank you for your guidance.

[@SuperBettyboop23]

Very nice and very good instructions thanks for sharing ❣️✂️🧵🪡💕💖❤️💗

You’re welcome 😊

[@sue5766]

Great looking project...would these work with a 9" zip cut using by the yard or do I need to purchase a 9" zip with the stoppers at ends. I hope this makes sense. Look forward to your answer.

Your tutorial is fabulous but is the zipper tab sewn in with the opening at the small end or at the thicker end?
