Scissors And Shears / Re: Wiss number 11 on eBay.
« Last post by Schneiderfrei on Today at 09:46:01 AM »I bought hemp cloth - Chinese grown, in the late 90's. Made a couple of pairs of zipper shorts with them. They were extemely comfortable. Very soft and durable. It is a dreadful shame on Dupont for ridding us of this cloth.
And, indeed Hutch when they finally wore out I smoked them.
Nah, not really. ;p

Scissors And Shears / Re: Has anyone ever used/heard of the Guggenhein IX 9” Tailor Shears?
« Last post by Hendrick on Today at 09:31:19 AM »I just ordered a pair, will let you know but frankly this look too good to be true.
I personally love my Sheffield made Ernest Wright shears, but I shamefully admit that I prefer the 10" to the 12"...
In other news, I bought a pair of "Sharpist" scissors in fashionable matte black to fine cut jersey and I must admit that these are fantastic, so if you are looking at something light and handleable, I can truly reccomend them…
I am in no way commercially attached to the companies mentioned above!
Cheers, Hendrick

« Last post by Bobbie on Today at 04:01:24 AM »I just found this forum - I loved reading the Cutter and Tailor Forum. I am a home sewer in Seattle, Washington. I learned the basics of sewing from my mother but did not really get into it until much later. I am a retired actuary, and sewing is my passion. I have mostly done historical sewing for myself, medieval through 1960s. I like to learn and use historical and couture methods - I find them fascinating. I am in awe of what tailors do. I am currently taking my second online class with Rory Duffy, who is fantastic. I love learning about tailoring and want to do it well.

They are cheap enough to buy a pair to see what they work like. At 9 inches, they are really trimmers and I have seen the identical pattern from other places.
