I have two of these, one store bought and another made by a friend (guess which is my favorite). Mine also has velcro tabs so the bag comes off and you can take it to the trash. I never thought of using it with a glass in it so I have never used it for trash, I keep my small scissors and seam ripper in it so it is close by. Now I will put a small plastic glass in one of them and I can use them both.
Thanks for the idea.

I made myself one and made one for my sister and I lose pins in mine all the time so what I do is reach down in it carefully and get the pins out and then empty the thing. I tried to make it so it would stay open and I had no luck. Tried wire and that did not work so I pinned it open and that has worked for a spell, but I still get some pins dropped into it and some times my seam ripper too. So I have to be very careful when I empty it and a lot of scraps do end up on the floor also. Have a great day, Now to find a glass that I can put into it. Thanks for the idea, Huggies, Fay

Also have a scrap catcher/pin cushion ... but I kept easily knocking if off the cabinet, so I used sticky-backed strong velcro and placed the looped side on the cabinet and the smooth side to bottom side of the pin cushion. Works great! Keeps it in place or I can give a tug to easily move it/take with to classes.

Mine gets to overflowing before I have to "sort" and not throw out any "good stuff". This is a good idea! Thanks for sharing. I do remember when you posted your original scrap catcher. You really got us!
