How to Make a Travel Scissor Case

8.24 2011

Sewing Summit is in two short months! I’m really excited and very nervous. Did I tell you that I’m speaking? Today I’m going to share a tutorial with you as part of their Travel Handmade series. 

This post is part of the

This tutorial is super easy + the best part is that it doubles as a work apron!

Supplies Needed:
Fabric, 19 x 38 inches
Scissor stash
Bias Tape

Start with your 19 x 38 inch piece of fabric.

Fold in half lengthwise + sew up the three loose ends.

Leaving a small hole to be able to turn the fabric.

Turn the fabric.

Iron flat. You should now have an almost square piece.

Fold one of the ends up + arrange your scissors to be able to mark their spots. Have your hole along the very top, it will be sewn later.

Mark their spots.

Sew spaces for the scissors.

Now sew your bias tape along the top of the apron. I used about 8 yards.

Stuff your scissors,

And roll them up for safe travels.

   Great, easy pattern! But do you really mean EIGHT YARDS of bias tape? That's 24 feet! Maybe you meant 8 FEET? Otherwise, this is a fun project and also perfect for makeup brushes!

   This would be great for storing rotary cutter, scissors, and other quilting supplies.
