    My fabulous tartan scissors

    OK, so are these scissor fabulous or what?



    Gingher's been making designer scissors for a couple of years, and these turned up *on sale* at our local Joann's. Presumably no one else wanted tartan scissors, because the little ones were selling for $9 and the big ones for $17......

    So, how many of you kiltmakers out there have scissors-envy now???

    They look great, don't leave them on the cloth as you make a kilt you may lose them,.
    Never appeal to a man's better nature. He may not have one. Invoking his self-interest gives you more leverage. L. Long

    My Fiance is a teacher, I bet she would LOVE a pair. I guess now I got to go find some for her.

    Ooohhhh, Gingher's!!! My wife won't let me near her pair. She got them as a gift many moons ago and they are still sharp. Worth the investment!!
