This project is perfect for anyone looking to gain more practice with basic embroidery stitches while creating something genuinely useful. As you stitch leafy branches, pom flowers, and delicate berry details, you’ll build confidence stitch by stitch — ending with a finished piece you’ll reach for again and again. If you need a refresher before you begin, be sure to check out our Embroidery 101 course.

Functionality is at the heart of this design. Sized to fit scissors up to 5.5 inches long (perfect for our favorite Kai scissors!), the sheath keeps your blades protected. Additionally, this Felt Scissor Sheath helps prevent accidental nicks when digging through a busy craft drawer. And lastly, its utility and gorgeous floral motif make it a thoughtful addition to your own supplies or a practical handmade gift for a fellow maker.

Now, when it comes to embroidery, you have a couple of different options depending on your preference. You can freehand your design using the included PDF template and a disappearing fabric pen, allowing for a more organic, hand-drawn approach. Or, if you prefer extra guidance, products like Sulky Stick ’n Stitch make transferring and stitching the design simple and stress-free.

When your Embroidered Felt Scissor Sheath is complete, we’d love to see how it all turned out. So, share your finished project on social media using #MadeWithLia, and don’t forget to upload photos to our crafters’ community.
