Erica's Easy Thread Catcher PDF

Hi everyone! I’ve had so many requests for a Thread Catcher tutorial since I first published the written version years ago.

I put together this new version just a little bit differently from my original, so you can use whichever tutorial you prefer. I just adjusted the strap holding the pillow/bag portion on this video so it’s not on the outside of the bag. But both ways are totally fine!

This project is so easy and they make great gifts too! It's the perfect little caddy for just about any fiber project!

So what is a thread catcher?

It’s basically a super cute trash can with a weighted pin cushion on top. These hang nicely by your sewing machine and come in very handy when it comes to keeping little pieces of thread, fabric contained.

Plus you can quickly access your pins while sewing too. And who doesn’t need a cute little trashcan in their sewing room?
