New Clothesline Kits from The Mountain Thread Company

ROUND BOWL
This finished basket is roomy enough for keys, phone, and other pocket treasures – but also works for organizing a tabletop, desk space, craft room, bedside table, shelf, child’s room, spare room, and more.

You can vary the dimensions of the project, but the standard round bowl measures about 7-8” across and 2.5-3” tall. Make it even more unique by using up fabric scraps from old projects! This is a sewing machine project. Your sewing machine will need a zigzag stitch and be able to handle sewing something like jeans. 50wt high quality thread is also highly recommended. This is an introductory basket project for sewists who are confident in steps like changing the machine needle, adjusting stitch length and width, and pivoting. This is a Do It Yourself Kit—no finished products are included.

OVAL BASKETS

With this kit, you can make two small organizing trays. Perfect for sunglasses, remotes, keys, odds and ends, and so much more! Fun hint: it also works as a great holder for another 5/16″ kit project “Set of 6 Coasters”. Dimensions can vary by project, but should measure around 5.5×7” and 1.5” deep.

MUG RUGS

Try something fun and new with this set. These mug rugs are unique, durable, washable, beautiful – and, best of all – made by you! The kit makes three ready to use 6-inch square mug rugs, the perfect size placement for your coffee or tea plus a little treat. 

COASTERS

These coasters are unique, durable, washable, beautiful – and, best of all – made by you! Makes six 4-inch ready to use coasters. These also sit well in the 5/16″” Oval Tray shown above.

All of these kits are due to arrive next month in plenty of time to schedule a Fall class!
