Sew CreepyThread Catcher

I ordered this fantastic fabric from the Michael Miller Nevermore collection.

I like the creepiness and the goth steampunk feel of it, but I didn't want to turn it into a quilt.  I was browsing on Pinterest and found this great tutorial on how to make fabric bins.

It's very easy to make.  I'm using it as a thread catcher because the cardboard box that I've been using just isn't fancy enough.  I ended up only using the largest size pattern, but I could probably get away with using it as a fabric scrap bin and making a smaller one for the catching of the threads.  The only thing I regret is that I didn't use a heavier interfacing so my bin is a little squishy, but it's still functional.

Here's the link to the tutorial on Birch Fabrics:


See!  You can turn something so cute and adorable into your own weird and strange tastes.
