My creative space

Today I dragged out my pinking shears, inherited from my grandmother. They are so heavy and so sharp, even after years of use. Even the box is in excellent condition. Must keep it that way. Maybe I will pass on to a granddaughter one day..


Cutting back seams to ease curves. Two warm baby wraps in the making. One due tomorrow, the other the end of August. Today's creative space includes my laptop, so I am checking out other spaces at the same time as cutting and pinning.

    I've been using my pinking shears this week too (would you believe that I only found out last week that you use them to trim around curves?)

    Oh I have some handed down very old always sharp pinking shears still in the box too, I was amazed how sharp they were when I dragged them out of storage and cut. Good luck with the baby wraps.

    I bet they are really heavy! I love that you're cutting away with the very same shears your grandma did.

    Love my pinking shears but they are very blunt at the moment. Have no idea where to get them sharpened. I inherited them from my gran too. They're big and heavy like yours

    What a beautiful history, right there in a pair of scissors. I love an heiloom that also has a purpose. Extra special.
