It's only when I finish a project that I look around to find the embarrassing pile of scraps, paper, and thread all over the table and floor.&nbsp; Sometimes I use a plastic bag or a cereal box, to catch the mess, but after a while, the bag or the box falls off the table because of the weight of the scraps and it's a mess all over again. &nbsp; To be frank the plastic bag ends up being a sore site anyway and really brings down my sense of order in my humble workroom.&nbsp; Since I know I am not the only one that happens to inflict this nightmare on their family members, I have decided to come up with an easy and hopefully elegant solution.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Untitled-design19-500x375.jpg\" alt=\"serger scrap catcher\" class=\"wp-image-24272 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Untitled-design19-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Untitled-design19-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Untitled-design19-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Untitled-design19.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px;

and width of 11 1\/2&#8243;. &nbsp; You can see a picture of it in the photo. &nbsp;If your serger is around this size, which most are, the catcher will fit perfectly. &nbsp;The design leaves about an inch spare around the base so there is some flexibility as well. &nbsp;If your serger is a considerably larger, professional model, you may have to adjust the size of the pieces in the cutting schedule below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have made the pattern in a simple series of rectangles with the following measurements.&nbsp; You can modify this if you have a larger or smaller than standard machine. Basically, you just want to make the pattern 1&#8243; bigger than the width of the bottom of your machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Piece #1: &nbsp;12&#8243; X 18 &#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Back\/Mat&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Cut 2 pieces.&nbsp; One piece will be for the front and another for the back so you can use contrasting fabric as you will see below.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Piece #2: &nbsp;12&#8243; X 8&#8243;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Pocket&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Cut 2 pieces. &nbsp;One for the front and one for the lining.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Piece #3: &nbsp;8&#8243; X 4&#8243;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Side&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Cut 2 pieces. &nbsp;As above.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Piece #4: &nbsp;8&#8243; X 4&#8243;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Side&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Cut 2 pieces. &nbsp;As above.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Piece #5: &nbsp;12&#8243; X 4&#8243;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Bottom&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Cut 2 pieces. &nbsp;As above.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When tracing your own rectangles make sure pieces #1, #2 and #5&nbsp; are the same width.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cut pieces 1 to 5 of&nbsp;batting and <a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/l\/fusible_interfacing\" title=\"Fusible Interfacing\" class=\"pretty-link-keyword\">fusible interfacing<\/a> as well. &nbsp;Please note the batting is optional.&nbsp; I used it because I wanted to give the catcher some body and rigidity to make sure the pocket would remain open at all times to be able to catch any size scrap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:capitalize\">Step 2:  Fuse the interfacing to all pieces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If using the optional batting, sew the batting to pieces 1 to 5.&nbsp; If you are an accomplished quilter, I am sure you could make a true work of art.&nbsp; Unfortunately, I'm not yet a real quilter, so I sewed lines up and down the rectangle as best as I could.&nbsp; Not very impressive I know, but I am keeping my focus primarily on the practicality of this project. &nbsp;From the plastic bag that I was using before to what I have in mind is already a big leap forward. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/xt.jpg\" alt=\"xt\" class=\"wp-image-24216 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/xt.jpg 600w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/xt-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/xt-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/xt-150x113.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px;
