Fabric scissors
I saw this on facebook this morning, and it cracked me up.......
Growing up, this was a hard and fast rule. The fabric scissors were for fabric, and fabric only!!! We didn't dare use them for anything else! We didn't want to take a chance on unleashing the fury of our normally sweet natured mother!
And, when I grew up and had a home of my own, the rule went with me.
My mom was a wonderful seamstress who made many of our clothes, including my wedding gown. (though she said if she had it to do over again, she would have just bought my gown! lol)
My sewing skills are limited to craft projects. Which means my fabric scissors don't get nearly the work-out hers did. But still.
They are for fabric, and fabric only.
That's just the way it is.
Ted in the above picture must not have grown up in a sewing household, or he would have known better!
