When you cut with scissors, put your thumb through one handle and a finger through the other. A pair of small scissors about 4 inches in length is easy to handle.
Shears are larger than scissors, and they are used for cutting a pattern out of material. Shears have one large handle and one small one. When you cut with shears, place your thumb through the small handle and two or three fingers through the larger handle. A pair of 7-inch shears is a good size for you.

Needles
When you buy needles, search for slender ones with long eyes. If they are slender, they will slip in and out of the material without much effort. The long eye will be easier for you to thread. Also notice the length of the needles. Will they be easy for you to handle?
