Felt Witch’s Hat Scissors Pouch

I’m desperate for all things Halloween right now. It’s only fair to assume that my stitching accessories are feeling the same way, right?!? I realized that my poor scissors didn’t have a Halloween costume, so I made them this fun Felt Witch’s Hat Scissors Pouch. This scissors holder is a fun way to keep them contained this holiday season.

Supplies:

• Witch’s Hat Scissors Pouch PDF
• black and orange felt (mine came from Cloud Craft)
• black beads
• orange and black thread (I used DMC S741 and E310)
• Halloween embellishment (I used a cutting of fabric from Shriek by Carina Gardner for Riley Blake Designs)

Print out and cut the PDF pattern.

Cut out the felt pieces.

Stitch the band onto the brimless hat piece. I used two strands of thread. If you are stitching on an embellishment, do this now before you attach the two hat pieces together.

Using a beaded blanket stitch, go the entire way around the outside of the hat. I used a single strand of the metallic thread. You can obviously use regular DMC 310, but I like that tiny bit of sparkle.

If you’re gluing an embellishment on, you can wait until the end. You obviously don’t need an embellishment at all, but I like that little bit extra.

This Felt Witch’s Hat Scissors Pouch is such a fun addition to my seasonal scissors holder family. The main stitch goes quickly once you have the hang of it. It makes a great gift for a stitchy friend or for a craft swap!
