wearing tools around neck
 

I wear my little snippy scissors and my purple thang on a ribbon around my neck. This works well for me, BUT I'm finding myself dropping things that are NOT on a ribbon! Just had to pick up my ripper cause when I was done I just dropped it on the floor! Crazy. Wonder how many ribbons I can wear. :)

Jan at Christmas another member posted some vests she made :) Had pockets and connectors for everything :rolleyes: LOL Might be worth a look at

Gravity tends to win, you know. :)

I don't wear scissors or anything else around my neck because when I sit down and the "girls" head down to the naval base where they like to hang out something always gets poked or scratched. LOL

I tend to wear a tape measure around my neck, especially if I am hand piecing something. I have found that my little granddaughter (18 months old) will find one and do the same thing. She even does it when she isn't around grandma.

i have the harmony cable needles with the tiny grooves to help hold the yarn...i tied a necklace of yarn round the end so i know where the cable needle is every time i need it... love it... i was forever dropping them down my chair before...

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.

That's a great idea jitkaau! Maybe you could share the pattern or do a tute.

I second the idea -- please share the pattern with us..
