Zuerst möchte ich mich bei euch für die lieben Kommentare zu meinem letzten Post bedanken. So macht bloggen Spaß! ;-) ...wenn man Feedback bekommt... Wie bereits hier angekündigt, möchte ich euch heute meinen Abfall-Fänger für meine Ovi zeigen. Und weil ich während des nähens einige Fotos gemacht habe, kann ich daraus ein kleines Tutorial machen. Es gibt im Netzt sicher schon viele andere Tutorials dazu, aber hier kommt jetzt meins! ;-) Achtung Bilderflut!! Man benötigt (in meinem Fall): - Stoff A für die Grundfläche (bei mir Wachstuch mit Herzen) - Stoff B für die "Fangtasche" (bei mir rotes Wachstuch mit weißen Punkten) - eventuell Schrägband (bei Wachstuch nicht nötig, aber schön!) Maße siehe Bild unten! Wenn man Schrägband verwenden möchte, muss man es zuerst an die obere Kante des kleinen Stoffstückes (Stoff B) annähen. Bei Wachstuch sollte man das Schrägband nicht mit Stecknadeln fixieren, weil die Löcher sichtbar bleiben! Man kann statt dessen Büroklammern, flachen Haarspangen oder solche Plastik-Klammern, wie in meinen Bildern zu sehen, verwenden. Habe ich ganz günstig bei R*E*W*E* ergattert. ;-) Außerdem sollte man eine neue (dicke) Nadel verwenden, damit die Stiche sauber sind. Und mann sollte eine lange Stichlänge (3-4) einstellen, damit die Löcher nicht zu dicht neben einander sind. Sonst könnte das Tuch schnell reißen. Wie ihr hier sehen könnt, hatte ich keine Lust die Nadel zu wechseln. ;-) Das rächte sich dann beim annähen der entstandenen drei Lagen (in der Ecke) und die Nadel ist abgebrochen! Wenn das Schrägband dran genäht ist muss man auf dem kleinen Stoffstück von den kurzen Außenseiten je einen 4 cm-Abstand markieren und wie auf dem Bild gezeigt einfalten. Dann positioniert man die "Tasche" mittig an die untere Kante des großen Stoffstücks und näht zuerst die zwei kurzen Seiten langsam fest. Man könnte die kurzen Seiten mit doppelseitigem Klebeband fixieren (das habe ich bei meinem Label gemacht), doch dann muss man aufpassen, dass man mit der Nadel nicht in diesen Klebestreifen trifft, sonst klebt auch die Nadel! Die lange Seite kann man dann zusammen mit dem Schrägband festnähen. Fertig! ;-) Sieht doch aus wie ein Bild mit Tasche, oder? Noch zwei Ösen oben rein und ab an die Wand! *lach* Schade, dass mein Rest zu klein ist, sonst würde ich mir wirklich so eine Wandaufbewahrung nähen... ;-) So sieht es dann an seinem Platz aus. Ich hoffe, die Tasche ist nicht zu klein. Aber wenn doch, dann kann ich diese abmachen und eine größere dran nähen... ;-) Optisch passt der Abfall-Fänger auf jeden Fall zur Haube meiner Nähma, die ich euch hier schon mal gezeigt habe. Leider reicht der Wachstuchrest nicht mehr für eine Haube für die Ovi. :-( Aber ich werde schon eine Lösung finden... ;-) Doch jetzt wird es hier erstmal ruhiger, denn es ist Zeit für ein wenig Urlaub... *freu* Aber vorher noch schnell zu: Kopfkino Rums (schließlich ist der Abfall-Fänger auch etwas für mich) Crealopee Bis bald *zocha*

The Abbey Bag (аббатская сумка) - это удобный тандем, состоящий из подушечки игольницы и вместительного мешочка для обрезков. Иногда мешочек комплектуют еще и держателем для ножниц. Форма игольницы и мешочка варьируется в зависимости от ваших предпочтений, при этом мешочек всегда шьется с подкладкой и может "прослаиваться" флизенилом для поддержания формы. Что касается игольницы, которая держит всю конструкцию на весу, то на ее дно клеится специальная прорезиненная подкладка, препятствующая скольжению. Если же таковой под руками не окажется, можно любым способом утяжелить игольницу или ее подставку (если подушка крепится на липучке).

This is the story of "The Little Thread Catcher That Could" The Pattern Cover Page, LOOKIN' GOOD! You, too, can make your very own Thread Catcher! The Oh-So-Practical Detachable Pincushion Woo-Hoo! My long awaited Sew In Style Thread Catcher pattern is finally finished and has just been pushed from the nest. Lets's hope that it has wings! I am SO doing the Happy Dance! It is available for INSTANT DIGITAL DOWNLOAD at my Etsy Shop, Curry Bungalow. https://www.etsy.com/shop/CurryBungalow The whole Instant Digital Download thing at Etsy is kind of a new thing, from what I hear. That means that you get your pattern within minutes of purchase, rather than whenever the seller sends it out to you. How cool is that? As I have mentioned previously, it is not such an easy a task to write down how it is that you construct an item. I feel as if I could make one of my Thread Catchers in my sleep, Zzzzzzzzzzz.....I've made so many! But putting that all in to words is not as simple as it might seem. Please, feel free to "Pin" to Pinterest, post to Facebook, tell your friends and pass the word. It is, after all, because of the interest from all of you that I was inspired and motivated to actually write this pattern. Have you got a minute here? I just want to tell you how this all came about. I was just cruising along, selling a few Thread Catchers on Etsy and posting my thread catchers on my blogs, www.tintheburg.blogspot.com and www.currybungalow.blogspot.com, when people began “pinning” them to Pinterest. All of a sudden, my blog hits went through the roof! Flashback to late March 2013... I had just mentioned to Mr. T., (He’s my sweetie of 43, count ‘em, 43 years!) that I had a total of over 5000 hits on my Blog! I was feeling pretty happy about that. Then something crazy happened. Since late March, my Blog hits have gone from a very respectable 5000 to nearly 87,000! And those hits are almost all driven by Pinterest pins! People began to email me, asking me if they could buy the pattern. Well… I didn't have a pattern, other than what was in my head. So I set about putting it all down into a Word document, which was later converted to a PDF file, and I am feeling pretty good about what I have produced. I am betting that all of you are going to love making your own Thread Catchers, and then, you are going to make them as gifts for people that you care about. It seems impossible to make just one! Along with the pattern, I am also offering a supply kit that includes all of the items, minus your choice of fabrics, thread and the button for the posy, needed to make this item. I will discount the kit if you purchase the pattern and the kit at the same time. For those of you who are interested in the pattern for the thread catcher with the Dresden block applied to the top, I am already working on that pattern. It should go together much faster that this one, since most of the work is already done. As I am so fond of saying, please STAY TUNED! I must extend my heartfelt thanks to all of you who have waited so very patiently for this, for those of you who have contacted me and for “Liking” Curry Bungalow on Facebook. I am over the moon and inside out that you love my little sewing accessory! It's "The Little Thread Catcher That Could" ! And that just shows.... "The Power of the PIN" !
