The memory of a vintage sewing basket that I had to leave in Richmond NZ about 10 years ago has left a permanent scar. It was a standing basket lined with 1930s floral cretonne that was much too big to carry home
However, last year I managed to pick up an adorable knitting basket from the same area, Wakefield, The Pigeon Valley to be exact.
I do have a thing about sewing boxes, bags and baskets.
Which brings me too a new venture from my blog buddy Lynn at Tialys.
She has actually made a downloadable tutorial for her darling hexagonal sewing boxes......go on, have a look
Well done Lynn, I'm very impressed.
Thank you Jan - so kind of you to say so.
ReplyDeleteI love that knitting basket of yours. That would be a nice project to do with vintage wicker baskets that you often see in junk shops. Now, there's an idea.......
Go for it.....
DeleteDon't you hate it when you pass on a wonderful treasure, when on vacation, and then can never forget it?! The hexagonal box is very attractive!
ReplyDeleteI am scared for life. Also the spinning wheel in Levin, NZ for $20, I can still see it.
ReplyDeleteAh the regrets we have over the things we've left behind in thrift stores and yard sales!
