Catch All Cutey Tutorial

There's a new little tutorial/pattern for you over at FreeSpirit's blog.  It's just the right size to keep near your sewing machine. Use it for thread trash or for the other essentials you need close at hand.
Like most of my patterns, it comes together quickly and is easy to personalize.  Just think of the pizazz a little row of pom poms would add around the top band. Or jazz it up with some fringe. Use fusible tape to iron a row of ribbon around it. So many choices, you'll need to make several.

This would also make a great little pocket over a bedpost finial for the little things you don't want falling off the nightstand. Or hang it off a hook for outgoing mail. But first, you need to hop over and get the instructions.

As always, I love to see your finished projects, so send pictures if you make one.

  2. I like a place for the thread bits idea. I have a waste bin RIGHT next to my sewing table, you would be surprised to see how often I miss it. After every sewing session, I still find threads on the floor. It is almost like I get so involved with what I doing at the machine that the waste basket is at another level, on another plane. This would be a nice, and pretty, solution. Carolina
