You know how I hid all my scissprs - well there is now almost an increased facination with them. Mum made this great coat for my brother and was busy finishing off the buttons (which needed to be approved by Mr P). She was doing this while the kids were asleep and then quietly sewing on the buttons at the table when they awoke.
In a well orchestrated manouever Benji distracted Mum and Spencer moved as quick as the wind to the scissors and CUT.
He did a slice into the lapel of the finished, fully lined wool coat. He cut effortlessly through what would be four layers of fabric plus two of interfacing to leave an inch of clean cut into the high lapel of the left side of the collar. Mum was (understandably) hysterical. She could have been (and deserved to be) worse, but she realised they really didn't mean it. But the damage he did it is almost easier to chuck it and start again than repair. However, the story does end well as clever mum did some darning and you can hardly see the damage. Well you can if you know where to look. But the recipent is still very happy and this is him, post cut.
