Tutorial: Serger thread catcher

Tutorial: Serger thread catcher

Tutorial: Serger thread catcher

Most sergers come with a little plastic bin that attaches to the front to catch the scraps cut off by the serger knife.  But, those little plastic bins don’t hold that much and mine is always – always – on the verge of overflowing.  So Sew Easy shares a tutorial for making a fabric scrap bin to sit under your serger to catch the scraps.  The fabric basket is quite a bit larger than the plastic one that sits in front of the serger.

Click below for the tutorial:

Sewing Pattern – DIY Beach Towel Bag

If you are like me you want an easy way to carry your towel and a few items to the beach but don’t want a bag just to hold those things.

So I came up with the idea to make a beach towel bag. This way it is a bag that can hold a few items but also function as your towel. I love it! I share with you how you can make your own beach towel bag.

This is an easy sewing project that is perfect for summer! I even made a few for my kids so they each have their own. Start sewing this fun bag today.
