May 31 - Collapsible Thread Catcher (Ort Box) by Liz Dey.
According to Webster’s Dictionary an ort is “a small morsel left at a meal”. I’m not sure how this term got used for our small threads left from stitching. Regardless a “meal of stitching” can leave snippets of threads and bits of fabrics everywhere.Our May meeting will be making a cute collapsible thread catcher that can be used at meetings or workshops, or at home to catch all the “orts”. The thread catchers are made from a ring cut from a Pringles can and a piece of fabric. See this on line at www.fabrictherapy.blogspot.com Liz will also show samples of other fabric boxes and ort catchers.
Kit includes: A Pringles ring, fabric (if you choose), cardboard, batting, thread & directions. Student supplies paper scissors (for cutting light weight cardboard), fabric scissors, sewing needle, tape measure, pen or pencil. Optionally, if you wish to use your own cotton fabric, a fat quarter will make 3 boxes. If you are using scraps, you will need a piece at least 8X11 and 2 (4-inch) pieces of fabric. You will also need matching thread. This is a beginner level class. Sign-up deadline: April 26 meeting.
Kit Cost __Complete with fabric $3.00. ___Without fabric $2.00
