Sewing pattern: Couch tool caddy and thread catcher

I like to do my hand stitching while sitting on the couch watching TV. The soft cushy couch is more comfortable than sewing table chair and the TV gives me something to listen to. But sewing at the couch usually means a little pile of sewing notions on the arm of the couch, and of course all those little threads sticking to couch cushion! This tool caddy and thread catcher solves that problem! Erika from Miss Sews-It-All shares a tutorial at We All Sew for making one. It hangs over the arm of a couch or chair. One side has pockets to hold your notions, and the other is a big pocket to catch those threads.
