I first discovered these scissors when I received them as a gift for my 40th birthday. “Scissors? That’s an odd milestone gift,” you might be thinking, and I was mildly sceptical, too. I have a zillion pairs. But oh ho ho, these are special, and now really good scissors are my go-to milestone birthday gift for mendy friends. (I once tried to buy these for a gift but they were sold out everywhere, which prompted me to order a bunch for this shop so I never run out!)
These are like the Jack-of-all-scissors; they’re small, sharp and precise (great for snipping threads), yet strong, decisive and agile when you need to create new holes (e.g. for reverse appliqué or mending practice) or tidy up raggedy holes before mending. And they’re a great option when traditional scissors are uncomfortable or difficult to use.
They’re the kind of scissors you think you won’t need when you start a project, then wish you had at hand.
Features:

- Suitable for use right- or left-handed

Slow mode
This shop is in slow mode so I can enjoy a better work-life integration as a shop owner and mum of two tiny tots. Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.
I'm currently dispatching orders once a week; place your order by 5pm Thursday Melbourne time (AEDT/AEST) for dispatch the next day (Friday).
Australia Post has been experiencing significant delays. If you select Express Post at checkout, it will speed up Australia Post's delivery timeframe but won't speed up my process.
After your order has been packed, you will receive an email notification with your Australia Post tracking number, which you can use to check on the delivery status of your order.
Local delivery
Customers in Northcote, Thornbury and nearby suburbs (subject to capacity) can select local delivery at checkout. Local delivery is extra-slow and coincides with my pram-walking/kid-wrangling schedule, up to one week after purchase. ٩(。•́‿•̀。)۶
