I've been wanting to make matching thread catchers and covers for my new machine...here's what I did:
Here's my newest sewing machine. I really love the way it sews. Quite as a mouse, but she's a real workhorse! Notice the hole in the right side of the sewing table, my DH drilled it so that I could use my knee lift!!!!! So grateful for him, once you use a knee lift===well it's like a microwave! LOL
Here's the tutorial for the thread catcher.
The thread catcher turned out so nice I decided to make one for my serger. I just modified the pattern to accommodate my serger.
While I was at it, I decided to make her a new sewing machine dust cover with pockets! I made this freehand and added batting to give it a little depth.
Until next time, thanks for dropping in!

Those knee lifts are the best! My mom's old Bernina had one. That's what I grew up sewing on, and it has been hard to be without one since.

Sewing machines need cool accessories too! Very nice.
Thanks ladies, now I need to construct something to cover my huge embroidery machine!
I love your thread catchers! I've been thinking of making myself something similar this year and I love the material you chose for yours especially!
What a great idea, love your fabric. I really need to make some for my machines.
The fabric is from Hancocks back when Project Runway first aired. It was called "Project Runway."
Love your thread catchers. I need some too.
