It seems appropriate somehow that on Valentine's Day I find myself working on a hearts and flowers project.
Actually, it's probably a bit more about scissors and sewing than hearts and flowers.
What I'm making is a hanging heart, with pockets for holding scissors. Kind of a scissor keeper, to hang on the wall. A heart seemed the perfect shape, and with all those layers, there will be a perfect pocket for every pair of scissors.
I hope that, as well as looking pretty and being useful, this heart will have magical properties... because I expect to be able to always find the right pair of scissors exactly when I need them. Ha! What are my chances?
I was planning to do this as a blog tutorial, but having started it, I'm not sure - it might work better as a downloadable pattern, so we'll see how it goes. Check back soon for an update!
