Erik's Tip

  • Cut a quick template from contrasting scrap fabric to make trimming a breeze! The fabric sticks to the piece you are trimming and makes it easy to turn the pieces on the cutting board!

In time for Earth Day!

Recycled Thread Caddy photo 

Celebrate Earth Day, April 22nd, by making this little thread caddy from a recycled dental floss container! Easy to carry in your bag, this caddy is even safe to use on an airplane thanks to the small cutter that comes attached. We embellished our with a cheery fabric scrap and a bright button. Run extra bobbins to carry along!
