She is a wonderful designer from the UK. The link to this pattern is here. The front of her scissor case has an English Paper Pieced Flower, which is also included in her pattern.I replaced the flower with a cute piece of fabric. This makes it a quick and easy handmade project that needs no sewing machine - just a relaxing evening with a needle and thread in your hand, while watching a good movie.

I finished this bunny last night. Isn't it perfect to show off a favorite scrap of fabric? It is ideal for a small 3 1/2" pair of scissors but the pattern is so easy to enlarge if you need a travel case for a larger pair of scissors.It is also wonderful for holding clips, embroidery bobbins and thimbles! All those small items that are hard to find, once you lay them down!

| I added a fabric stamp to the back. |
Materials Needed:
- 8" x 6" Fabric for the front exterior of the case
- 8" x 6" Fabric for the back exterior of the case
- 8" x 6" Felt for the interior
- 8" x 6" Foam to add structure
- Bias binding 32" long, 1 1/4" wide (when the folds are opened out)
Instructions:
1. Print out the templates and cut out 2 oval shapes from the felt and foam. Now cut a front piece and back piece.
2. Make a sandwich by stacking your front, then your foam and then the felt on the back and pin or clip to hold the 3 layers together.
3. Take your bias binding, unfold the edge and line up with the raw edges. Hold in place with clips all of the way round, making sure to turn in one end of your bias to hide the raw edge, and to overlap the other end inside. Hand stitch in place using 1/4" seam allowance.
4. Turn the binding to the wrong side and stitch down in place.
5. Sew a snap fastener onto the felt side, at the top, in the middle.
6. Repeat steps 2-5 and layer up your back fabric, foam and felt for the back of the case. (First I added a fabric stamp on the back.) Attach the binding and add the other half of the fastener.
7. Place both halves of the case together with the felt sides facing each other. Use clips to hold in place. Stitch the two halves together, leaving an opening at the top wide enough for your scissors to fit in
