Free Up Space Next to the Machine with This Combo

Or Just Make the Cute Turtle Pincushion!
Patterned after a traditional thread catcher, this pocket and pincushion combo is both cute and functional. The sweet turtle pincushion is weighted to keep everything in place.
The hanging pocket can be used as a thread catcher, or store things there that you want to keep handy near your machine. This is a great way to free up limited table space.
Whether you make the full set or just the pincushion, choose fabrics you love and have fun with this project. It makes a great gift for a quilting or sewing friend, too, so consider making two while you’re at it.
The finished sizes are:
- Pincushion – 4″ x 5″
- Pocket – 6″ x 7″
