I made the thread catcher bags with the pincushion that sits on the table. I love, love, love it. 2 helps in one. Easy to make. I will see if I can find the link for it. Found it:
www.merrimentdesign.com/pincushion-thread-catcher.phb . Hope this works. BTW: when I make mine, instead of the hinges I used rice or beans (I live in a very dry climate) & instead of the clothesline I used the plastic strap that comes around packages. This is very easy to make & is very handy. I made 4 of these in one afternoon. I used 2 coordinating fabrics in mine. Very cute too. I even sold a couple. Fast & inexpensive. What more could you ask for. Hope this inspires someone to get creative. Please share with me if you do. I would love to see what others come up with.
