After that long search for my sewing stuff, I decided I needed a nice box in which to keep all my stuff. So, another search started. I looked at several different types, wooden, tin, leather, but felt they were either too small, too big or would just make a bigger jumble of the things I had. The lady in the shop however told me (under her breath) that I might want to look at toolboxes. They had compartments and all! Which I did. And got. Mind you, there is still not enough room for all my thread bobbins, but I might get another (smaller) one for that.
Progress report on the kilt: It was extremely fiddly, but I finally got the thing completely pinned. Then I ironed it (on the backside) and last night I decided to make a start on sewing. I managed one and a half pleat before giving up: I didn't have enough light to see what I was doing!! But, it's looking fine so far!!
Pawsome sewing kit! Thats ok if its a toolbox.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I like it very much. Although I probably mislay this as well at some point!
DeleteMy mom uses fishing tackle boxes for her sewing stuff!
ReplyDeleteWhere does she keep her fishing tackle stuff?
DeleteMOM SAYS EVERYTHING SHOULD HAVE A PLACE. YOUR SEWING BOX IS PURRFECT. EVERYTIME MY PEEPS GO TO THE DENTIST THEY GET A LITTLE 'GIFT BAG' WITH A TOOTHBRUSH,DENTAL FLOSS AND A TRAVEL SIZE TOOTHPASTE. THEY HAD 87,000 OF THESE BAGS. MOM WAS TICKLED TO FIND A COMPARTMENTALIZED PLASTIC BIN ORGANIZER.

I have lots of 'Collection of Stuffs' around the house. I should really sort them all one day, but so far...
DeleteAs for the kilt: patience is a virtue! And you will have to be patient for another month at least!!!
Love your sewing box and the progress you have made on the kilt!
