Matchbox Travel Sewing Scissors

Take your stitching projects anywhere with the Matchbox Travel Sewing Scissors by Melbourne sewing brand SOHMO. These clever miniature squeeze scissors measure just 46mm long and tuck neatly inside their own lilac matchbox-style case, making them a compact addition to project bags, embroidery kits and travel sewing supplies. Small but practical, they're designed for quick thread trimming and single-layer fabric cuts when you're crafting away from home.

Rather than traditional finger loops, the scissors use a simple squeeze mechanism. Press the handles together to open the blades and release them to close, making it easy to snip embroidery floss, sewing thread and lightweight fabric as you work. A small loop at the end can also be attached to ribbon, wrist elastic or a project bag charm so your scissors stay close at hand. With 15mm blades, they're particularly handy for embroidery, cross stitch, English paper piecing, slow stitching and other portable hand sewing projects.

Founded in Melbourne in 2018, SOHMO creates thoughtfully designed sewing tools that combine practicality with a little personality. Founder Sonya Morris established the Australian brand after struggling to find well-made sewing essentials she genuinely enjoyed using. These Matchbox Scissors were designed and moulded exclusively for SOHMO, joining a collection of needles, needle minders, thimbles and other compact tools made for people who love to stitch.
