I’ve been wanting to purchase pattern cutting shears for quite some time, but I was unsure of what type to buy? My Gingher shears are out of the question since they are used exclusively for cutting cloth. However, I knew that I need something strong that could cut through oaktag paper, but I was uncertain of what type I should purchase.
I’d seen many videos of pattern makings with some formidable looking shears that seemed to blast through everything, but I was stumped at the type of scissors they were using until this past weekend.
Enter Nick Verreos…
I watched the above video and the light bulb went off. Most of the stuff, I already knew but their were a few tidbits that were helpful. For example, he called the shears used to cut patterns, “pattern cutting shears” and it all fell into place. Ahh, such a simple name to describe what I wanted.
After some research, I was able to find and order my own.
…and I also snagged a notch cutter! I should receive both by Thursday of this week. I must say that I’m looking forward to sewing this weekend!
So THURSDAY you will be getting more HAPPY MAIL…yay!!!!! LOVE shipments and other surprises in the mail! It looks similar to a hole punch 🙂

Indeed it was @Jennifer, I received it all yesterday. Early this morning, I noticed that Amazon now offers same day delivery and so I placed and should receive an order today. I’m only waiting on a few more things for sewing and those will arrive early next week.
I also need some spices for an upcoming ferment. The ingredients for that will also arrive next week.
