Now one thing that you really do need when dressmaking is a really good pair of scissors, kept aside for fabric, and fabric alone! We tie a piece of fabric around the handle to make sure that everyone knows they are for fabric use only.

A good long blade makes for a smoother cut, and these 25cm Fiskars Classic Scissors are made from high quality stainless steel. Will make a great addition to any sewing kit.

Crafted with stainless steel blades for long-lasting cutting performance, these right-handed scissors feature long, sharp blades that will enable clean cutting action through thick and multiple layers of fabric including denim, paper, cardboard, laminated materials, light metal and films. The screw on the blades can be adjusted to improve cutting performance.
