Last month I showed my applique group the
collapsible thread catcher I made. They wanted to make one too, so I taught the group how to make one. This is the one I made while I demonstrated the steps involved. For this one I sewed strips onto a muslin foundation and used it as my fabric.

| Since the fabric strips I used were sewn on a diagonal, you can see the fabrics on this side of the thread catcher. (That black fabric was a scrap of some paint stick rubbings I had leftover from another project). I also used a metal ring on this one instead of a wooden embroidery hoop. It is the kind of metal ring typically used for macrame (I used to macrame back in the 70's...am I dating myself?) |

Very cute one! I need to get busy and try one of those. I used to macrame in the 70's too :)
ReplyDeleteOh I love thread catchers and I love this one, just wish I could learn to use them. At the moment my floor is my thread catcher even though I have one by my sewing machine. LOL
ReplyDeleteIf you're dating yourself, then I'm joining you! I too macramed. Even made a "curtain" to hang over a beside-the-front-door window. I had the knotting urge bad! So glad it's been replaced by quilting! Thanks for the peep at what you've been making.
