Eeeeeeeeeeee!
Call me
crazy, but I just love this box. I've
been searching for a sewing basket or box to store supplies in for the new
house (aka the retirement house). I had
this idea in my head of what I wanted but wasn't having much luck. The new ones at the fabric store just weren't
cutting it. Then I found this one on eBay to
bid on and I won. Whooo hooooooo!
This one is
PERFECT!
I had one of
these when I was in junior high but it was avocado green. Somewhere along the way I happily gave it up. It was pretty ugly. Any other color and I probably would have
kept it because it was great storage.
Needless to
say, this time around I was looking for any color but green. Or harvest gold. I want something sweet and pretty. This one is powder blue with a nice textured
finish on the exterior. LOVE it!
Plenty of organized storage for thread, bobbins, scissors, pins & needles/ |
I plan to
sew just as much there as I do here, maybe even more. It is important to me to get this filled up
with everything I will need to make whatever strikes my fancy. I envision making curtains, quilts,
potholders and all kinds of wonderful things.
Having it
now I will have plenty of time to collect sewing supplies and notions to fill
it up. And of course I have to be able
to store everything in a neat and organized way (feedind my OSD/anal
retentiveness) which I will totally be able to do this with this one.
Did I
mention it is PERFECT?!
Yay, yay,
yay! Another fun project to work on. So exciting! J
I have a green one, sort of like your blue one. Mine was a hostess gift from a Tupperware party, over 40 yrs ago. Still using it to this day. A well supplied sewing basket was one of the gifts my dau's received as a graduation present.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I plan to send my girls off with ones of their own when the time comes. :)
DeleteLove those boxes, used to own one but stopped sewing. It will be so great for you!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have a lot of fun filling it up and using it.
DeleteThat is one of your best ideas yet!!! Way to go.
