katmom	Posted - May 13 2022 : 3:47:15 PM So in my collection of sewing baskets, some are vintage, some newer... I never pass up on even the most neglected ones... I have re-done several as gifts, which I did according to the personality of the recipient.. I did a cute little Western themed one for my trailer... I am currently going repair the orange one which was my cousin's (1970's). Gluing on old orphan jewelry is the perfect bling. v=7895778 >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva!

Red Tractor Girl	Posted - May 21 2022 : 4:30:11 PM I love that idea of making one into a little first aid box for the car or for a camping trip. So much cuter that the plastic container I used!! Winnie #3109 Red Tractor Girl Farm Sister of the Year 2014-2015 FGOTM- October 2018
katmom	Posted - May 20 2022 : 1:05:13 PM They also make cute little simple 1st aid kits... One of the big ones is just for Yoyo making... and another large one has my wool felt patterns and kits in it,, I hang little tags off of the handles to identify what is in them. >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva!

katmom	Posted - May 18 2022 : 10:07:49 PM April, they are perfect and light weight.. I love having mine in my trailer and motorhome. just grab and go sit outside and work,, or if camping in foul weather, small enough to keep your sewing or letter writing or crafting supplies together. >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva!

Nancy Gartenman	Posted - May 14 2022 : 10:05:26 AM Good job Kat. I Have four older ones from Family. I must say I'm always tempted to buy one when I see them at the thrift. You did a really nice re-make on yours, so pretty. Nancy Jo NANCY JO

katmom	Posted - May 13 2022 : 3:59:39 PM Awww, Thanx Sara... On one of my girl glamping trips, we used a western theme, so I fortunately found the little sewing basket which was perfect to corral my boot bracelet and western jewelry... >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva!
YellowRose	Posted - May 13 2022 : 3:55:40 PM Nicely done Grace. Nicely done indeed. Hugs, Sara "FarmGirl Sister" #6034 Aug 2014 FGOTM Sept 2015 & Feb 2019 Lord put your arm around my shoulders & your hand over my mouth.
katmom	Posted - May 13 2022 : 3:54:11 PM Oops, forgot to add the 1970's orange one. I do have 2 suggestions when redoing old sewing baskets, wear a mask when removing the old trim, it's got decades of dust waiting to escape ;) The second tip is don't over stuff the inside of the lid. It won't close properly. I used a combination of Tacky glue and a glue gun. I made both of my grand girlies their own sewing baskets, .. Soleil uses here's as a sewing basket and Jada uses hers as a "stow-a-way basket to hid money, trinkets etc. After all, seeing baskets aren't just for sewing...lol! >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva!
