Someone bequeathed me with this antique, home-made thread caddy. (Funny how us sewers seem to be magnets for this kind of stuff!)
And here I thought I needed one of those fancy wooden thread racks from June Taylor--I could have made myself one of these (a simple board with nails in it) for little or no cost!
It's a nice reminder that we can still do with home-made solutions--especially in these hard economic times. Do we really need the latest and greatest?
Granted, I did try a project on my treadle sewing machine, and I am most grateful for my modern-day sewing machines! We have made progress ...
