Buttonhole scissors, used to cut a slot in fabric before stitching the buttonhole by hand. These belonged to my grandmother. Also pinking shears, used to create a zigzag edge on fabric so it frayed less. These belonged to my mum. Both tools have been replaced by the huge variety of stitches created easily on a modern sewing machine.
