Testing Times...

Yes, it's that time for all teachers 

in the Southern Hemisphere....


corrections, report writing,

prize nights and transition meetings!

Sewing time has been rather infrequent...

but when I saw on FB 

there was a free Kindle download to be had...
I could't resist!

I had the ideal fabric,

sent by my + and X friend, Carla...


with a perfect name!


It's not that I needed another pincushion!


But the little thread catcher was perfect 

for 'couch surfing sewing'!


I definitely need a place for my loose threads!


It might just save some vacuum time...


which should make Mr PnP happy too!

Happy sewing!

Susan

That is brilliant Susan! With my recently found addiction to hand sewing, I most definitely need to make me one of those - thanks!

Erin Quinn said...

I love this idea. May have to make me one too :-)

Great idea and looks fab!!

DeborahGun said...

this is fantastic - I leave threads all over the sofa at the moment after hand sewing in the evenings. May have to just find some extra time to try to make one!

Barb said...

Leanne said...

That is so cute. I have the pattern in her book. I hope you are through all the grading and such soon.

Mary said...

Excellent! It is so nice of you to come up with a way to lighten the load on Mr. PnP! Lol!

I don't know what I did before Krista gave ma a thread catcher (well I do, it was messy!) xxx

Vicki said...

I actually saw one of these made up this wkend. Just love this style. Thanks for sharing...

It's great to see how you've made good use of that lovely charm pack from Carla. Such a practical thing to make, especially since it appears you're well stocked with pin cushions! So sorry to know about your extra workload now. I hope this busy spell passes quickly.

Carla said...

I'm so glad that you so quickly found a use for the little baby charms, Susan. I should make one of those to save MYSELF some vacuum time!

Love this Susan......I can certainly make use of a pin cushion like this. I do a lot of sewing on the couch. Marie (mlismore@optusnet.com.au)

Marg said...

I need one of those, and a great way to use the charms.
Good luck with the marking, hope it goes quickly.

Cute!

Cardygirl said...

How cute is that! Anything is better than pesky pins and threads on the floor!

Canadian Abroad said...

Oh Krista gave me one of those in London. They are fantastic and yours is so pretty.

pandchintz said...

Very cute! Good luck with all that end of year stuff.

Suz J said...

I suppose I'm lucky that (a) I'm not a teacher and (b) my kids are still too young to be worried about end of year "stuff". Very cute thread catcher/pin holder... I'm sure Mr PnP was impressed!

Karen @ Pieces of Contentment said...

Your thread catcher/pincushion combo is beautiful made and bright and cheery too. End of school year will sneak up on us all too soon.

that's where I really need a thread catcher, by my chair in the family room. Thanks for the idea. Cute little idea!

OPQuilt said...

Hope you made it through all the exams and can now relax and put that cute pin cushion/thread catcher to good work now!
