11-20-2020: Pincushion/Scrap Bag/Storage Caddy by Karen Hruby!
Join us at The Sewing Center of Cheyenne
(There will be a ½ hr. lunch break)
Class Price: $49.95
Come to our August class and make this sturdy pincushion/scrap bag/storage caddy! It has space to store pins and a wool felt strip for your needles. The hanging pocket is a perfect place for storing easily-misplaced tools like seam rippers, embroidery scissors and thread snips, and the detachable scrap bag helps keep stray threads and clippings from littering your workspace. Because the pincushion is weighted with play sand, it will help sharpen your pens and can perch just as easily on the edge of a table or the arm of a chair or sofa!

Fabric A:
9” x 14” for Scrap Bag Lining
