In today's can-I-fix-it pile from an estate sale. Already aharpened all the vintage shears. They were all dull, but now work perfectly. Clearly the owner did not know how to sharpen shears, but also did not want to throw them out. I don't need them all, anyone new to sewing like me that needs one (for the cost of postage)? The fancy Fiskars ones there won't cut a darn thing, I will have to figure out how to sharpen curves. And one of those tiny ones is riveted together so you can't tighten it, even if you can sharpen it. #sewing

The one to the upper left look like something I use for grasping and pulling needles that I'm having trouble getting through heavy fabric or leather.
The small very pointed ones are good when snipping tiny threads like embroidery.

The ones with bright plastic handles are for paper.

@SnowyCA@social.vivaldi.net Oooh, okay, that's handy. There was a basket full, I just snagged one LOL.

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org @SnowyCA@social.vivaldi.net I have a different style, but yeah, incredibly handy when mending a hole near a seam on jeans. I have a palm thimble to push the needle as far as I can, but often need something to finish pulling it out the other side if going through the seam/pocket edge.
