wearing tools around neck
#32
I had my thread scissors on a ribbon around my neck but it, too, kept poking me. What I did was put the ribbon around the wire thread guide on my cone thread holder. I can always find it just by grabbing the ribbon and following it to the scissors. The ribbon is plenty long enough to reach where I need to snip the threads, and if I want to take it somewhere else, I just pull it loose, slip it thru the loop and off we go. I used the kind of attachment where I wrapped the loop of ribbon around the wire, slipped the scissors thru the loop and pulled it snug. Don't know what that is called, tho. LOL When I drop them, they just stay hanging there till I pick them up again. No bending down to the floor to find them.
I had DH drill a hole the size of my seam ripper in the wooden base of my cone thread holder also, and that is where it sits. Easy to grab when I need it, but out of the way otherwise.

Could you send a pic of it?
Thank you.
Thank you.
I made myself a quilted chatelaine after meeting a Japanese lady on a train. She was making one and we got talking. She sent me the pattern and it is a good gift to give to friends. It actually looks a bit like a priest's scarf with pockets and scissor holder, pin cushion etc. Perhaps something similar might help you.

What is bad is when I don't know I dropped it and just keeping hunting and hunting for it. If I didn't drop, I wouldn't get any finding or picking up excercise. Now dropping something that breaks or spatters is to much clean up excercise.
