"What's this?" I hear you ask. "A slightly wonky fabric cube, in a cute colourway?" Well, yes, but that's not all...
See that stuff on top? That there be threads, caught neatly by this, the all-new, ingenious Thread-Catcher Cube
TM!
I had a "eureka!" moment when I was clearing up after a sewing session the other day and noticed that my trousers had threads stuck to them. It was but one small leap from that to a custom thread-catcher, with fleece as the grippy fabric of choice. The dotty fabric is a tea-towel, the fleece from an old top.
Up until now I've been chucking the threads in
origami boxes made from magazines, but now I'll use the cube ("Use the cube, Luke, use the cube...").
