I made this cool project as part of the Winterkist Blog Hop to celebrate Monica Solorio-Snow‘s new fabric with Lecien! Check out the blog hop link for details on how you can win some awesome prizes, it’s as easy as leaving a comment!!
The instructions only call for interfacing the loop on the thread catcher and the facing on the thread catcher bag, but I’m a bit of an interfacing freak, so I used Pellon SF-101 fusible woven interfacing on everything. You can read more of my thoughts on interfacing here.
The pincushion is actually filled with a satchet of uncooked rice. The pattern calls for flannel for the rice satchet, but I didn’t have any around, so I just used a small piece of Pellon batting instead.
I really love this tutorial…Elizabeth really has thought of everything. It also has a nice pocket organizer to hold all your small notions that I use all the time (like my seam ripper and my fabric marker!). The thread catcher has a little button on the inside, so you can easily remove it from the organizer and dump out all of your little scraps and threads.
I had loads of fun making this project! Be sure to check out Winterkist, available August 2012! Thank you to Katie from There and Back for having me along the blog hop today!!
They are so cute and that color is perfect, I really like the orange lining on the thread catcher, it really stands out. Thanks.
That is so cute with those fabrics. Great idea!
Very sweet with the Winterkist fabric – thanks for sharing!!
Really cute! Very useful!
Very cute and usful…it would make a great gift too!
I have got to make one of these sets–useful and gorgeous!
I love cute and useful things. That Winterkist fabric always makes me smile.
This turned out so cute! Love the text fabric mixed in 🙂
Love this little gadget – got to make one!
This is a great idea. I currently sew on my dining room table which is round. Do you think that the weighted pincushion would work well on a round table?
I love it, Sara. Festive and functional!
Like what you did here, the text fabric too. I always put my thread on my little ironing board next to my machine and then they end up everywhere. Might gonna have to try this out.
I love your project – genius to allow the thread catcher to be removable!!!
Very cute and great idea and looks so great with this fabric.
Love the text mixed with the Winterkist. I can’t wait to get a big old collection of gnomes.
I love the Winterkist fabrics! the colours are fabulous!
Great thread catcher – I will be checking out the pattern
Ohhhh! Great colors!
Something else to add to my long project list.
Surprising colors for Christmas fabric…sure do look good in your project!
I pinned this! I need to make these for my sewing area. I love Winterkist!
What a cute project! Winterkist groupie alert – that would be me. Watching FQS every day for its highly anticipated arrival. 🙂
This is lovely! The colours are so pretty. I really need to make one of these my desk is always so cluttered.

I’m really loving seeing this wonderful fabric line in so many different projects.
that turned out really cute! I like the addition of the b & w text print, it gives it a bit of an edge and visual ‘pop’
Very cute idea. Love blog hops. I get so many ideas for gifts. Now if I just had the time to make all of them.
Hi Sara: thanks for the fun project idea. These colors will surely brighten the spirits on a gloomy winter day.
Nice project! I love the addition of the text also, it looks wonderful!
I LOVE your idea to mix in that text fabric – it totally looks awesome! Fun projects 🙂
You certainly can not go wrong with pink. Her fabric is just so cute.

Xmas Gnomes!!! Love it, I wanted some last year and didn’t get any. I’m getting me some this year!
This is on my must sew this year list.. I would love to use the new Indie fabric, but will check out Monica Solorio-Snow’s new line, I am really loving the non traditional xmas stuff this year.

I really like that you added the text material, it really compliments the winterkist fabirc. What a great project, practical and fun, I’m afraid I would probably use it to keep a secret stash of sweets in though!! haha!
