Fold Use 8 Stitches per inch Outside edge of toe runs along cut edge

You may want to practice before stitching the hem into this part of your shears case. Look back to [page 10] if you have forgotten how to start and end a line of stitching.

Shape the flap of section B

In order to neatly fold the top of section B over the shears, and also to make the shears case more interesting, cut the flap as shown above.

Measure ½ inch from the sides of fabric piece B—points a and b. Then measure 2 inches from the top of section B—points c and d.

Using a ruler, draw a straight line between points a and c and points b and d. Cut along a-c and b-d with long, even strokes.

Mark the pocket on section A

Fold section A in half. Carefully put pins into the fold to mark the center. Fold the pocket pattern, which you cut earlier, in half. Place the center crease of the pocket pattern on the pins marking the center of section A.
