They're just too cute . . .
And easy to make . . .
And a lovely way to use little bits of my favourite fabrics.
These little treasures go together so quickly and are really useful as well. I've got one next to the sewing machine . . . and one in my sewing box . . . and one in my sewing bag . . .
I guess you could say I have a weakness for these thread catchers.
What little crafty weakness do you have in your world?

They are handy little things and I don't think you can have too many. You can leave one every place you sit around the home. The top photo, thread catcher on the right, I love that lining fabric!
I like the thread catchers
They would be very handy to have around the place
Take care
Is there a pattern for your thread catchers? I'm going on a mini-retreat next month & it would be a perfect gift to give to all the ladies at the retreat. Love them!
Thanks so much for stopping by. Beware, once you start on these, there's no going back! :)
Here's a link to a great tutorial that I found after I'd made my first thread catcher. Leanne uses 7 1/2" x 2 1/2" strips - I used 6 1/2" x 2 1/2" for mine, but I don't suppose there's any hard and fast rule.

They are pretty easy to make - the first one may seem a bit fiddly, but once you've done one . . . there's just no stopping.
Hi Sue
I made this little bag too. It s so lovely. I must admit I don't use it as it is so little but you have inspired me to use it with one little project in it like you do. It was so nice to stitch. One of my class girls made it a bigger size and it was very useful too.
