This is the finished embroidered scissor case, so I will have something pretty to hold my embroidery snips when I’m at events.

It is embroidered with perle cotton and six-strand DMC cotton floss, on a cotton canvas base.  Embroidery stitches used are stem stitch, wrapped stem stitch, chain stitch, Bayous Tapestry style couching, and padded satin stitch.  The lining is leather.  The seams are edged with lucet braid in perle cotton that is whip stitched in place using the same perle cotton.  The tassels are made with a different color of the perle cotton, wrapped with the same perle cotton as the lucet braid.

This was my first time trying to make tassels, and they were far easier and more fun to make than I was expecting.  Those four tassels consumed an entire skein of perle cotton.

Overall, not a bad ending to a project I started back in 2008 or so.
