Dreamy Dresden - Thread Catcher Pattern

Say good-bye to all of those messy threads, clippings and cuttings that are generated while in creative mode. What would likely hit the floor will now have it's own tidy little landing place. My Dreamy Dresden Thread Catcher is a pincushion and a trash bag all in one! How clever is that? Oh, and don't forget the handy little scissor holder, too!

Materials and Supplies needed are:

• Outside Bag Fabric - (1) Fat Quarter

• Bag lining, ceramic tile cover, hanging tab, scissors tab - (1) Fat Quarter

• Contrasting Trim Strip Fabric

• 20 Coordinating small scraps for pincushion

• Thread to match fabrics

• Ceramic tile – (1) 4" x 4" tile (available at hardware stores, Home Depot, Lowe’s)

A rotary cutter, clear ruler and cutting mat are helpful tools in cutting out the pattern pieces.
