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!
ReplyDeleteGreat stash!!! Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteOooo, 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteCute little drawstring bag!
Hi!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
