Thread board
Inspired by what Sew Brunswick’s husband made, I put in a request to one of my brothers (I have three!) to make me a thread board. Look what was delivered last night.
The top is for cotton reels.
The blank middle is room for expansion (which is inevitable!) and the bottom section houses bobbins.
Miss A and I had fun this morning loading it up. I’m one very happy sewing obsessed big sister.
** UPDATE ** I just been informed I have the thread board upside down. Oooppphhs. The bobbins go at the top, there are two nails to hang scissors on and finally the cotton reels reside at the bottom of the board.
Lucky you, it looks great! I have hinted – and straight out asked – my husband for one but he doesn’t seem keen, think I’ll have to learn wood working myself 🙂

Thanks for the welcome. Tell your husband, reproduction is a very high form of praise! 🙂
