I've had my (very expensive) Brother Innovis 1800Q for five years, and I finally got to use it! My craft room was in a mess and although there's still a LOT to tidy up, put in drawers, or throw away, I feel I'm getting there. At least I can use the sewing machine. The first thing I made was this thread catcher/pincushion. I bought the pattern from Etsy, and it was very easy to follow. I used some tiny plastic beads - which are meant to add weight to doll bodies - to the pincushion, plus some soft toy filling. I already have a pincushion/thread catcher, but the bag is very baggy and I wanted something more sturdy.
I have a HUGE pile of unfinished needlework projects - quilts, bags, applique pictures, and so much more - and I want to see how many I can get finished before the end of the year! The "kits" are taking up too much room in drawers which I could be using for other things.
I want to use up lots of the fabrics I have, and not buy any more! The fabrics I used for this project are from Moda, and I bought it to make one of my quilts, though I can't remember which now ... it's been so long!
