HA! In the US, we also make sewing bins out of our shortbread tins. My kids saw a bunch of the tins I bought for Xmas and asked if they were getting cookies... I told them nope, I was making them sewing tins! I laughed hysterically, but they didn't understand. My third born did understand and she was disappointed when she looked inside. lol.

[@DaintyDiaries]

That’s so funny 😂 the tins are a staple for sewing 😂

[@StarpoBerry]

Oh so the sewing tin thing is very familiar to me! There would be a cookie tin and as a kid I would get so excited to have a cookie. I open it, and sewing supplies 🙃

[@DaintyDiaries]

Always the way 😂😂 classic!

[@JolovesDecor]

Doesn’t matter, we will enjoy old or new. I’m getting ready for Christmas already. Making gifts. Getting ideas from your videos this year.

Hi Catherine I remember all these sowing videos. Nice look back. Hugs from the USA 💚❤

[@joydalton4987]

Love the red tulips it makes the table, pretty runner and fabric

[@retroredo9850]

I love the bits and bobs tin. I have some I could upcycle to this! Great idea! I gave up fiddly sewing years ago like turning tubes. I just quarter fold them. Makes more sturdy for straps etc. So just calculate to your wanted finished width. Times by 4. I only iron in half then quarter fold the top inch or so, iron. But then do the rest of quarterfolding as I sew as you match the two edges into the middle when you fold.

[@rosellatorino1363]

Hello Catherine 💐 love the fabrics you use 🌸🌷🌺

[@sharonwilson8208]

You can sew curtains in the same manner as the table runner, with the exception of the casing and header. To the beginning sewer, this is actually very simple when you know the terminology. And, you will forever know how to press and sew a straight line, and miter corners. Miles of straight stitches, but so economical, and expressing yourself. ❤
