I should be wrapping gifts, baking or cleaning but I ended up making a thread catcher instead! I found the pattern online awhile ago and found it in my sewing room. I thought it would be a fun quick project. I didn't have time for anything too involved!
I sewed each half of the body to the bottom.
I added batting and made a grid as my quilting pattern. I just used my regular sewing machine. I was keeping things nice and easy!
I sewed up the sides and boxed the corners. I added a narrow contrasting fabric strip to the top.
I prepared my lining. These are all leftover Kaffe Fassett fabrics. I love them!
I sewed everything right sides together. I left an opening in the lining and this is what I pulled out! Voila! My new thread catcher!
Back to preparing for the holiday. I think I have a love/hate relationship with the holidays.
Cute! Did it seem odd to do the quilting on your domestic sewing machine? LOL!
ReplyDeleteYes, Em, it did seem weird! I thought straight lines would be my best bet. It worked out well!
