ALSO, I found a drawstring bag for my mending supplies -- It has room for small scissors, little pockets on the inside for spools of thread & the bottom is a pincushion.
This is what it looks like when open:
It is small enough to be portable & I luv the drawstring closure. For the person who asked about the web link, for the freebie pattern to make your own Embroidery Floss Bobbins:
I tried the link this a.m. & it was working. Direct link is: http://craftchi.com/blog/?p=610 OR Embroidery Thread Cards.
For the stitcher looking for the multiple color floss bobbins:
I bought them at House of Stitches in LaPorte, Indiana. They are see-thru plastic & I think the same thickness as the white plastic bobbins. I visited House of Stitches yesterday & they still had some : )

Those thread drops are so cute! And your new drawstring bag looks beautiful! I love that the bottom is a pincushion - how fun!
Great stash!!! Enjoy.
Oooo, a trip to House of Stitches. I'm jealous!! I so LOVE that place!! But I've got a trip planned for next month, so I'll just have to be patient till then.
I love House of Stitches...wish I could visit the place in person! I do a lot of online ordering from them, though, and I'm always impressed with their excellent service.
Cute little drawstring bag!
Hi!
I would love to see how the thread drops work too... I don't like bobbins for my floss because of the bends/folds when you take it off, so this is interesting. Thank you.
