A HANGING SCISSORS CASE

The useful scissors case which I illustrate this week is designed for holding three pairs of scissors of different sizes, and is quite simple to make. For the foundation stiff cardboard is used. The dimensions of the case will, in a measure, depend upon the size of the scissors it is destined to contain but they may easily be determined by arranging the scissors upon the cardboard and drawing a line round them in pencil, and afterwards cutting it out.

The board i's covered on both sides with dark green art serge, cut out in two pieces, stretched across, and sewn together at the edges. The pockets are lined with soft silk and the longest one is sewn in its place first, then the next in size, and finally the smallest pocket.

The case is edged with a dark green silk cord, which is carried into three loops at the top, the centre loop being rather larger than tiie others, as it is by this loop that the case may be suspended from a nail in the wall. The pockets are all edged with jome of the same silk cor', a:id should be made full enough to allow the scissors to be easily slipped in or withdrawn. On the lowest, pocket some pretty little floral design might \vell be worked •in coloured silks.
