Sentimental Scissors

I was hemming a dress I bought at the store and my Ginger fabric scissors were just not cutting it, literally. I had a hard time cutting this slinky fabric and then I remembered these scissors that were my Grandmothers. They have a serrated teeth edge on the bottom blade that seems to grip the fabric as you cut so no more slipping. They are "Serra - Sharp & Knife Edge" by Marks not sure if you can still find scissors like these but if I were a dressmaker I wouldn't be without them. My grandmother was always sewing us kids clothes one time she even made me a swimsuit I image she must have used these hand scissors to cut the fabric.♥
