    Cord Keepers





     





























                          EMBROIDERY CLUB 2023
                                       with Ruth Locke

This month we are going to make cord keepers! If your family is anything like mine, then charging cords are always getting misplaced and there is confusion over who’s is who’s. Right? These handy little keepers keep your cords organized and you can make a different keeper for each cord. They also fit on your sewing machine cords so you won’t lose track of them at class. Made from OESD Luxe embroidery Vinyl or cork, they are colorful and sleek. I like this design collection because it is easy to substitute your own thread color choices. In class you should have time to make 2 cord keepers.

Supplies:
