I spend a lot of time cross stitching and my embroidery scissors take a lot of punishment. They get tossed around in project bags, left on tables, and generally put up with a lot from me. I wanted to have a way to keep them contained when they aren’t being used and whipped up this felt scissors pouch.
This is so fast to make and you probably already have all the supplies on hand.
You will need:
- felt
- scissors
- thread
- needle
- pouch template
- notions
Print out the pouch template.
Cut out the two pieces. You could do this the lazy way like I did and just hold the felt and pattern together and cut, or you can do it properly and get straight pins to hold the pattern in place.
Take your two pieces of felt and start hand stitching around the edge. Add in any notions you want. The possibilities are endless. You can make your pouch as simple or elaborate as you want.
You’re finished! I told you it was fast! I love that my scissors are now relaxing in comfort when I’m not putting them through their paces.
(I’m stitching up The Mysterious Halloween Town Club by The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery here. I love their patterns!!)

This is so cute, and so practical! I need some new sharper scissors anyway, and now I can keep them protected!

I love your scissor pouch. It’s really cute and so is your Halloween cross stich.
This looks so easy. Thanks, this will be a great craft to do with the kids. Maybe I can modify it for larger items also.

What a lovely home for your scissors. I find mine are always disappearing, maybe if they had a proper home I might be able to keep track of them better!

This is awesome! I don’t have any teeny embroidery scissors (though I wish I did!), but I think I might modify this to make a case for my prized sewing/fabric scissors. Hopefully that will keep the little hands from grabbing them! 😉

This is perfect — embroidery scissors can do damage if they aren’t protected!
Love the Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery!
