Are
the tails of your threads always falling on the floor or missing the
trash can? Do your straight pins roll around on the table and under
your sewing machine? What you need is something to capture those loose
threads and rolling pins - the Handy Thread Catcher!
You
can create your very own thread catcher/pin cushion combo with these
easy-to-follow instructions. This little gadget is perfect to keep next
to your sewing machine or ironing board. With only a fat quarter of
fabric, trimmer line/cord and some sand, you will have a weighted,
lined bag that will stay right where you need it most!

Kit includes:
pattern with complete instructions

Note from Serena: I
designed this thread catcher and pin cushion combination for a program
for our local quilt guild and we had such a blast stitching them! With
my detailed
instructions and clear illustrations you will be able to create your
very own!
