Multipurpose bin cum thread catcher


 So much on baby products and my diversion was on something small and fast.... Came this multipurpose bin or a thread catcher can be too.......... measuring 4" square base and 4" high.
I used felt combined with flannel and it came out firm and prop up well!!!

Thread catcher that catches

Not much sewing was done for the past two weeks. Loading and downloading the sewing equipments and fabrics to the little studio had drained us too much, hubby and me. So things were done at a very slow pace. Now, arranging and put things to places accordingly.... Few more days and hopefully everything should be ready.....

Yet, today, I did this for my new studio...... a thread catcher. It measures 3" x 3" x 2.5" and what more, I love the felt colors...... It vibrates the whole studio even though it is tiny... :D

THESE....to enlighten my gloom

The whole of my sewing corner now looks so wrecked and lifeless and dust at every corner .............. So is my life but still I sit and sew.......... sighhhhh!

So made these to lighten up my corner and give some good companions to my little BEAUTY.... a machine mat with few slots to hold some sewing gadgets, mobile tread catcher and a pin cushion..... Did I break the rule for not placing the thread catcher on the right of the mat? ..... Frankly I am comfortable with it being on my left ...... snipped and drop..... that is it.... and it would not takes a lot of space as it is right on my lap.....

Look at my old thread catcher... just placed it hanging in between the drawers but I had it ever since I can remember.....
I made a simple pin cushion plus a metal piece to give some weight. Here I used my hubby's old hinge which I found kept nicely in his tool box. Shoved it in at the bottom and had it sewn after filling up with poly-insert. Quite heavy and will hold it in place.....

The thread catcher is meant for mobilising as I like to carry it around. So I sort of made it attached to buttons underneath the pin cushion or let it stay free standing by my side waiting to be filled up with threads, small pieces of rabbit's ears, or sometimes my sweet wrappers ........ :D
