Being a sewing enthusiast, I love everything sewing related. I frequent thrift shops, antique shops and sometimes estate sales frequently there are sewing items. It is usually patterns or sewing machines but there has been the occasional vintage wooden spool of thread. When these special treasures are found, I happily purchase them and place them in jars on the shelves along side the beautiful fabric in my sewing room. My happy place! I have often wondered what else I could do to display or play with these little beauties besides just letting them sit in jars. I wanted to share with you some of the most fun projects I found.
