#sharpen scissors

This old pair of scissors came in rusty, dull, and barely usable. I cleaned them up, removed as much corrosion as possible, sharpened the blades, and adjusted them so they cut properly again.

I have lots of dull fabric scissors and I always forget to have them sharpened. I remember only when I need to use them again. So I looked for instructions to sharpen your own scissors with things you have at home. Most of what I found say that cutting aluminium foil would work. Other say you should "cut" smooth cylinders such as glass bottles. And yet others tell you to use sandpaper. Almost all of the instructions I found were for paper scissors. I need my scissors to cut fabric.

I found a really good method to sharpen scissors. I tried two methods, the aluminium one and I also tried using that knife sharpening stick that comes in kitchen knife sets.
