My New Sewing Toolbox

Wednesday, November 9, 2022 0:01

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

We’ve been working on our winter project list, and one of my line items is mending. I have a huge pile of it, but have been frustrated because my sewing tools are never in one spot. Part of the problem is that my studio became a storage area when we started working on the house. The same was true of the extra bedroom, and every time we start working on another part of the house, everything gets moved and shuffled about. So nothing has a home, and I can never find anything. Some of my sewing tools are in baskets, some are the sewing machine cabinet, some are in the mending box, and some are ??? It seems I’m always hunting for something before I can get started.

Time to get organized! When I found this cute wooden box for $3 at a resale shop, I couldn’t resist buying it.

It’s the perfect size to keep everything I need for sewing.

Several of the items in the box are special to me.

These little wood boxes were gifts from my granddaughters.

One is perfect for safety pins, the other is perfect for my tape measure.

These came from my great-grandparents

The thimble is 10k gold and belonged to my great-grandmother. She was a quilter. The steel container that I use as a needle case was my great-grandfather’s. The embossed words say. “Colgate & Co. Shaving Stick New York U.S.A.”

Buttons are handy to have so I made a button lid for a half-pint canning jar.

Besides scissors, thread, and a pin cushion, other useful items …

Needle threaders, scissors sharpener, seam ripper, and darning egg.

Everything fits nicely in the box and there’s still enough room for small projects I’m working on. And it’s decorative enough that I’ll be happy to keep it out and not be tempted to stuff it away somewhere where it’s out of sight. I think this is a good step toward a productive winter!
