Three Pocket Scissor Holder

Three Pocket Scissor Holder

I thought I would make yet another version of the three pocket scissor holder because it is indeed a handy little project to keep all of your sewing scissors together in one place.  This is an easy project that uses only a fat quarter of fabric, some batting, a pattern and some standard sewing supplies. If you need any of these items feel free to head over to Fabric.com or Hobby Lobby to get everything you need for this project.

What You will Need: Scissor Holder

Step 1: Three Pocket Scissor Holder

Print out the pattern pieces.  Abut them together and tape.  Lay the pattern onto the fat quarter and cut 2 pieces making sure that one is a mirror image of the other.  Cut one of the batting.  You will notice that there is a 1/4″ seam allowance included in the pattern.

Step 2: Three Pocket Scissor Holder

Place the fabric right sides together with the batting on the outside.  Make sure to add your ribbon loop at the markings on the pattern.  Instead of ribbon, I made a fabric loop to match my fabric. You could also use a piece of bias tape if you have some on hand.

Sew all the way around and through all layers leaving a 2″ opening at the bottom for turning.  Clip the corners.

Step 4: Three Pocket Scissor Holder

Turn Right sides out and fold under the fabric at the opening.  Press well.  Top stitch around the perimeter.
