One of the handiest gifts you could give to the sewer or
crafter or take along with you to work on some hand sewing while waiting in the
Doctor's Office is our "thread hanger". It can be hung on the back of a
chair within easy reach for hand work, or can be taken along in a car so you can
do your hand work while riding and not have to "chase" your spools of
thread around the car.
Begin with an ordinary coat hanger and loosen
the top with pliers and straighten it out. Wrap the wire with ribbon,
catching the ribbon at the ends with a few stitches. String many spools of
thread on the wire, using an assortment of colors, and put it back in
shape. Decorate the handle with ribbons or a big bow. At the end of
the ribbons tie small strawberry or heart shaped pin cushions. When thread
is needed it can be pulled from the spool easily without removing the spool from
the thread hanger.
