Here at Havel’s Sewing, we know a lot about scissor care. We know how to sharpen scissors, when to oil scissors (if you oil them) and how to prolong their cutting life by using them ONLY to cut their designated material (don’t cut paper with fabric scissors!) And now we’re curious: where do you store your scissors?
Of course, we all have a spot in our studios or sewing rooms where we keep our cutting tools. But where do you keep them while you work on a project? Is the spot in the studio or sewing room conducive to their care? Easy to reach? Fun and flirty? Boring and drab? Scissor storage might be an afterthought, if it’s a thought at all. Today, I wanted to do a little digging and find exciting scissor keepers for the scissor-keeping sewist.
First, we have fancy chatelaines. Women in history often wore these around their necks to keep track of keys and other household management items. They do seem very sturdy, and very decorative.

Many crafters have made their own. A quick search on Etsy led to a few fabulous handmade finds.
