The design is a simple one, but it's perfect for me! I oiled the wood and cut out some cute papers to line the bottom of each section. The result makes me smile each and every time I open it.
There's no photo to prove it, but trust me, the box is now crammed full of lots of little sewing bits and bobs. I love how I can cart it from room to room as I make my way through the stages of a project. At each point, the box holds all the tools I need to cut out, mark, clip, pin, and measure whatever I happen to be working on.
The only items I have left floating around on my shelves are dozens of spools of thread which are driving me CRAZY...perhaps Santa will bring me a wooden thread rack for Christmas?
Uhhh... The next time your aunt is looking at inexpensive, vintage sewing boxes, ask her to hook me up! I could use one for all my crafty bits and bobs currently floating around the house. I also love the patterned paper you chose to line it with. Very pretty.
ReplyDeletei love it - especially with that awesome paper lining.i can see how it would make you smile@:D
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind one of these myself if your aunt has the same dilemna. My mom has one and well, I can't exactly pry that away from her. I loove the papers and sadly, I think I can name them all. Fabric, paper, patterns, storage...oh my....
ReplyDeleteLove the paper you used for this project :)
