(photo of finished case to go here ...in the future)

Nine designs for large size (Ginger Shears) scissors and accompaning small size (Ginger Embroidery) scissors. A total of eighteen different needle cases. Each design has some notes included on possible embroidery stitches or needlework techniques that could be used to create the needlecase. The pattern shapes are simple and can be sewn easily.

Design was created with shadow embroidry techniques in mind. Stitching the bow on a sheer fabric (in a hoop) and then building the scissor case with a light background would be the intended method. An alternate would be to do a shadow-work embroidery and fuse the bow pieces in a color fabric on to a light background, then cover the entire design with a sheer fabric and stitch the outline of all shapes in the design by hand in a uniform Running Stitch.
