Every tool deserves a place to rest, scissors the most of all. They deserve to be held once the cutting is all done. After all, they hold might and responsibility. And to complete their world, a needle pillow. Soft, light but mighty. The best companion to keep your needles safe and always where you expect them.
This DIY is an invitation to slow down and to simply create something. A sewing set, yes, but also a moment.Â
To make this project by hand is its own kind of magic for which, astonishingly enough, an evening can suffice. The DIY kit, your favourite chair, the kitchen table, perhaps a cup of tea and so the afternoon can unfold…Â
This DIY kit contains everything needed to sew a delicate scissor case and matching needle pillow from our Matilda and Millicent fabrics. We've included elegant golden stork scissors and high-quality DMC embroidery thread, carefully chosen to accompany your work.
Designed to become a faithful companion in your sewing basket, this project brings together usefulness and refinement. The ornamental patterns draw their inspiration from the rich embroidery tradition of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county in Hungary, a regional folk art known for its intricate, expressive motifs, carrying that same warmth you feel when opening a treasured sewing box passed down through generations.
Practical and poetic, this projects is meant to be made slowly and kept by your side for years to come.
