All sewing enthusiasts will need somewhere to store all their needles, pins, tape-measures, cottons, scissors and other accessories. It is much nicer to have a lovely sewing box rather than putting your things in various tins and drawers in a haphazard way.
This lovely town house sewing basket from Cath Kidston harks back to earlier days when no woman would have been without a smart sewing basket even if it was only used for mending the family’s clothing and sewing on buttons rather than full dressmaking. I remember my first sewing basket, receive one Christmas when I was about 7 or 8. It is the only gift I remember from that year so it must have had a big impact on me!
The roof lifts up to reveal a plastic compartmentalised tray for smaller items and also a small pincushion and pouch in the roof itself. Pull the door handle for access to the bottom compartment.
A smaller one storey house sewing basket is also available if you’d prefer. Either would make a delightful Christmas gift.
