As many bloggers to the "What's in My Handbag" tag, I thought I would adapt this slightly to do a "What's in My Sewing Box"! First things first, here's my Sewing Box...
It was a graduation gift from my parents so am not sure where it came from. Can you tell I love Owls? This has two sections, so I'll begin with the top section. This holds the more important things, like needles (for hand sewing), taylor's chalk, my Chako Ace Pen, pins, an unpicker, tape measure & of course my dressmaking scissors. These are my go to items, that I can quickly grab if I'm in a hurry or having some kind of sewing crisis! There are also some random bits like Nicks collar inserts, spare rotary blades, wooden hearts, a spare Sewing Machine foot & 2 Tiddlers cross stitch kits!
Bottom section - along with my trusty pinking shears (couldn't live without these) & my new rotary cutter, I have lots of other random bits in here too! I have 2 small containers, one that holds beads, sequins & felt hearts & another that holds different coloured buttons (colour coded, of course), safety pins, googly eyes (not sure why these are in here actually...) & another tape measure! Can never have enough tape measures! I also have 2 reels of Christmas ribbon, a bag of random buttons & 2 different widths of elastic. Let's not forget my floral mouse pin cushion that sits in there too!

I'm actually quite impressed with what I have managed to fit in my Sewing Box! And it's relatively handy things (bar the googly eyes perhaps but you never know). What do you keep in your Sewing Box? Do you have any go to items?

Oh I love this! My top part is full of my threads, needles, measuring tape and scissors. Don't even ask about the bottom haha! Great idea for a post, I'll do an official one on my blog soon! www.jenny-diy.com
ReplyDeleteThank you! The bottom section is usually a big mess! Let me know when you do a post. Would love to see what you keep in yours! :) xx
DeleteI'm a sewing novice, so mine has thread, needles, chalk, tape measure and, scissors and pinking shears. Maybe if I get any better it may start to look a little more organised like yours :)
ReplyDeleteMine is never usually that organised. I'm sure it won't take long for it to be a big mess again! :) xx
Deletethats a great interpretation of 'whats in my handbag'! my sewing box is a beautiful cath kidston buy, a christmas present from my best friend. My go to item is my little Mario World mushroom pin cushion and fabric scissors. It is all a bit of amess in there at the moment though :p jenny xx
ReplyDeleteAll of the Cath Kidston ones are so beautiful! I'm slightly jealous!! :) xx
