We are thrilled to have found a supplier of these in the lefty version as a number of our customers have asked us for them over the years. They have rounded blades for safety and the word "LEFTY" is engraved on them.

Made in England with stainless steel blades and the word "LEFTY" is engraved on them.

A recent customer said: "Thank you for your help – I’m truly delighted to be able to tell which scissors are actually left-handed."

Thank you, thank you, thank you! The scissors arrived and my youngest thinks they are great!

He has never been able to cut out before.

He can now!

He is totally thrilled with them. Many thanks.

"The scissors are working a treat, thank you! I have passed your website info on to Callum's school teacher."

Our grand-daughter opened the parcel and immediately I could see how much difference the scissors made. The information provided with the Little Lefty Set is great as well.

Well done! I will be ordering another pair of scissors to keep at our house as the first ones went home with her!

Caitlin is beside herself about how easy cutting is now. She can't get over it! They have left-handed scissors at school but I don't think anyone has made an effort to ensure the left-handers use them.

Thanks for the "left-handed lizard" lollies too!

Feedback about the Dressmaking Scissors (IMP26)

“We received the sewing scissors and they really make a difference!!!
C…... had so much confidence she finished one project the same day
and cut out
the second..."

Those with a sharp eye will see a little bit of oil on the top blade in this photo - this is not accidental - it is deliberately put on the blades by the Italian manufacturers. Everything is done to ensure these beautiful scissors arrive in your hand in absolutely pristine condition! (IMP44)
