Our sidebent shears are world famous and used by professionals due to their unrivalled quality and craftsmanship. They offer precision cutting for all types of fabric used in dressmaking, sewing and tailoring. Our Classic sidebents feature two machine edged blades meaning they are super sharp for cleanly cutting a wide range of fabrics, from cotton, jersey, linen and many more. The term ‘sidebent’ refers to the shape of the scissor; the handle that is bent upright allows the shears to cut flat along a table, therefore not disturbing any fabric you are cutting, allowing you to cut easily in a straight and accurate line.

The hand painted black handles add a final glossy finishing touch and mean your scissors won’t only cut perfectly every time, but they look great too.

A perfect in between size for someone who prefers a slightly larger cut without the bulk of a larger, traditional pair of shears. Unsure about which size is right for you? Head to our blog section and read all about our advice with ‘Scissors by hand size‘.
