I haven't seen one, but have made similar ones. But I put pretty buttons, etc. in the jar, or I make it into a mini sewing kit with small scissors, threads, needles, buttons, etc. A fun gift for a sewist.

I hadn't heard of this one, but I'm sure going to try it with buttons in one and fabric in the other. I also keep my thread trimmings in a dish by the sewing machine so I can fill clear glass ornaments with them. Read about this in some book I read years ago. People were filling the ornaments with yarn trimmings from knit and crochet patterns. They're pretty and make nice gifts.

This would be a fun Christmas gift for a quilter.

I have a mason jar with a pin cushion on the top that my daughter-in-law made for me. It has a bag that can be removed that fits inside the mason jar that you can use for threads and scraps when you sew. You and also fill it with sewing notions. It also fits in a cup holder in the car so it makes a nice on the go gift. I love it. She put a picture of herself and my son under the pin cushion so when I want to "see" them all I have to do is look under the pin cushion.

Put your thread cuttings in it, especially the emb. thread and when you get LOTS of it place between 2 pieces of wash away and meander all over it, wash away the stabilizer and have a unique shawl.
