Quick Tip.. Magnetic Pin Caddy

in Sewing Tips & Tricks on 08/10/13

Have you seen this little guy at your local sewing store?  Do you have little hands in your house? A baby crawling around or toddler tearing the place apart..? I do.

Nowadays I need to be super vigilant about where I leave my sewing supplies, especially my pins. The old me lost pins everywhere. They could be found in the grout on the bathroom floor or stuck to the armrest of our couch.. The new me crawls on my belly scouring the floor for stray little pins. When our toddler is waking from his nap, it’s a mad rush making sure all my sewing stuff is tucked safely away.

I’ve wanted one of these magnetic pin holders for years. For some reason I never bought one. A few weeks ago I finally made the plunge.. I’m sure glad that I did!

I use this ALL the time.. One quick swipe over my working surface or the floor and ta-da!! Pins be gone.  My previously misplaced pins are held safe and tight. My husband can now rest easy and I can sew easy.. Now I need another one for my ironing board, one for my desk, one for the garage and one as back up..

Next time you are at the store, I suggest you pick one up. They are made by Dritz. I bought mine when the notions were half off.  Smile.

Happy Sewing.

My 5yr old loves to snoop and to go through my stuff. He especially loves my block printing supples, recently found my stash of stamps and lined them up.  When I saw my handiwork from over the years, I thought it would make a fun picture.

Day 16 prompt for #marchmeetthemaker2021 is “Fro Day 16 prompt for #marchmeetthemaker2021 is “From The Archives”.. I first posted this picture 2 years ago. ❤️ the red and the simplicity of the print. If you have attended one of my zoom block printing workshops, you may recognize the shapes? Super simple, yet mixed together they make such a fun modern print.

Outcome from today’s zoom class and my intro to Outcome from today’s zoom class and my intro to block printing workshop. Love the wonkiness of this one, it is a little offbeat and the print definitely doesn’t line up. 🍊 is not a favorite color... yet for some strange reason I still kinda like this print. 
.
A BIG thank you to everyone who joined in on the zoom fun! What a great group we had, people attended from all over - Canada, Mexico and the US.
