It's "Sew and Tell" time guys and have I got a real goodie for you :D Ummhadiyyah from Ramadan Planner has done it again. She has found us yet another way to save some money and add more enjoyment to our sewing. She is sharing one of the neatest ideas I've seen so far. This cool idea is from her blog Damsels, Dimes, and Dinars. This blog is totally cute and thrifty you're gonna love it Insha Allaah. Well, I'm so excited about this tip I plan to put it into action asap lol. Okay, enough from me, please read on. Oh! And one more thing (I keep forgetting to mention this), please don't be shy to get involved and participate in one of our fun sewing categories here listed below this post and also in the contact section above.
No More Stringing Me Along (By UmmHadiyyah)
A few weeks ago, I was traveling along the Net looking for new ideas to use in my sewing area; I don’t have a room devoted only to sewing; its a shared space, so I call it an area.
As I was saying, I came across a very nice site. I Delicioused it immediately when I realized its value in my life. What I want to share with you is a cheaper version of a for sale product that is quite useful for the home seamstress.
Now I don’t know about you, but those bobbin wraps look suspiciously like those tiny hair elastics that I used to use in my daughter’s hair when she was two!
The price really isin’t outrageous or anything. But, you know me, I just had to see if I could beat it. And I did! With the help of Dollar Tree.
Here are my bobbin wraps:

Here is a photograph of the product. Nice right! I mean, what a great idea and how come I didn’t think of that!
Now, the price. And here is why you need my blog. The price is $2.48 for 24 assorted colors (shipping extra). This is 10 cents per wrap. And a set of 24 with 2 of each color costs $3.98; almost 15 cents each.Now I don’t know about you, but those bobbin wraps look suspiciously like those tiny hair elastics that I used to use in my daughter’s hair when she was two!

Here are my bobbin wraps:
And the price? $1 of course! For 18 hair elastics! I purchased 3 cards for a total of 54 “bobbin” wraps! Although my local DT did’nt have the baby elastics, I bought the regular sized ones and they actually work great. I have to wrap them around the bobbin a couple of times, but I really don’t mind that so much.
The beautiful part about borrowing this idea and applying it to Dollar Tree, is that I can use the left-over hair elastics on my own hair. So I saved even more money!Don’t you just love when the Internet works in your favor!
