I made one and tried to use it but I found it was a lot quicker to just lay my scissors down and pick them up again as opposed to fishing them out of the pouch around my neck and then trying to stuff them back inside without cutting the fabric on the pouch. It's a great concept but not functional for me. If I'm not wrong a chataleine (SP?) originally was what the sisters used to hold all their keys and was attached to their waist. Does anyone know if this is true or not?
