A green cloth thread catcher is displayed and on its green fabric is printed a series of small cockatoo birds. The text around it reads "thread catcher" and "for sale eleven dollars" plus "It's collapsible!" The website where you can buy it is listed as Chelly Wood dot com (all one word).

This is a handmade item, made of 100% cotton and plastic, sewn together by my mother-in-law to form a collapsible thread catcher or ORT holder.

The asking price is $11.00 plus the usual $7.00 for shipping fees.

It opens as shown below:

My mother-in-law and I came to the decision to ask $11.00 for this collapsible/portable thread-catcher based on the typical fees for them on Etsy (their prices are slightly higher, on average, if you include shipping charges).

If you’re not fond of the cockatoo patterned fabric, keep your eye on my store. Anita plans to make more, using other fabrics. They will be posted as they become available.

I keep my handmade thread catchers in several locations in my house:

  • There’s one on the ironing board
  • There’s one where I sit and sew while watching TV
  • There’s one in my purse
  • There’s one in my travel-along sewing kit
  • There’s one beside my sewing machine at all times
