Scissor Slide
A Collaboration
Something
a bit special!
Jo from Dinky Dyes Threads has dyed a special silk floss and silk ribbon,
Paula from Kelmscott Designs designed the 'Pink Snip Scissors' and I
designed and made the precious little scissor slide to recognise those
who have survived breast cancer. Part proceeds from every sale of 'Pink
Snips' scissors and 'Survive and Thrive' scissor slide kits will be
donated to breast cancer research and education. So, whether you or
your customers have been touched by breast cancer in some way, here
is a lovely way to say 'we have survived and are thriving'.
The kit comprises a skein of specially dyed silk floss and silk ribbon,
a specially chosen 'Goody Bead', charts and comprehensive finishing
instructions.
Stitches
used: Cross Stitch and Whipstitch.
Fabric required:
2
x 7” square pieces of White 32 count Belfast Linen
