Stork Scissors

Tools of creation. From embroidery to the tapestry of life. These scissors traditionally considered part of a sewing kit have a second, hidden life as a midwife’s tool, used to cut umbilical cords when assisting with delivering babies. This print is a nod to that with a digital reproduction from The Midwives Book (Sharp, J 1671).
