In 2023, I set out to design a pair of scissors that felt as good in the hand as they performed on fabric. After many sketches, prototypes and conversations with our manufacturer, the SOHMO Go-To Scissors were born - a thoughtfully engineered tool made with makers in mind.
The design process was a labour of love. Creating the custom moulds was a significant investment for a small brand like SOHMO, but one I felt strongly about. I wanted to make something that didn’t just work, but worked beautifully, felt intuitive to use and held its place in a modern sewing kit.
Now a cult favourite among Australian sewists and crafters, our Go-To Scissors are celebrated for their super-sharp microserrated blades, which gently grip fabric instead of pushing it away. This gives greater control and accuracy, especially when working with slippery or delicate materials. The handles are generously sized, soft, and flexible - designed for long hours of crafting without strain.
They're ideal for cutting everything from cotton and linen to ribbon and trim, and their versatility makes them a constant fixture on the worktable. Whether you're quilting, dressmaking, card making or simply mending on the couch, they’ve become the scissors that so many of you reach for first - your go-to.
Thank you for making them a part of your sewing journey.
