I put my thinking cap in and crafted one: in fact, I made 2, so I'll either keep or gift the other.

Vanessa did you make it out of your own design or see a pattern.

Darlene - I don't want to give it away and spoil it for my swap partner, but look around your house and see what you can re-purpose. That's what I'm doing and so far I love the way it's turning out. It's amazing what you can do with paint, glue, fabric, paper, etc!

Ida Jane, I have you down, thanks for joining!!
Ladies, I just love how we all share ideas so much, this is totally meant to be a hob nob of haberdashery stuffed into something of somesort, lid, no lid, conventional, non convention, kitchen something or other, all wrapped on a spool, what ever catches your fancy - outside the box is totally welcomed as always, let your creativity and/or resourcefulness shine! I'm hoping all the haberdashery shared will inspire us all! I can't wait to see everyones idea of haberdashery!
Since Heather shared a hint of what she's working on, I'll also share a hint on mine:
P.S. My haberdashery has no lid!!
P.S.S. The little haberdashery prize that will given away will arrive with a kitchen flair!

Oh, and when I was a small girl, my grandmother made this sewing kit for me from a recycled cookie tin that she covered with fabric, ribbons and little roses. It's a little tattered these days, but I still use it and love it just as much as the day she gifted it to me. Just thought I would share my very first haberdashery long before I even knew it was haberdashery or what our DNA was.

Well, while we're sharing thoughts and ideas . . . Don't forget to check that forgotten stuff that's in your junk drawer(s) . . . and what about those orphan quilt blocks . . . . and, and, does it necessarily have to be something we would actually use or might it be something we would just love to "display" ??? Oh, the possibilities . . . I'm simply having too much fun with this one. Aren't you?

You gave me something else to think about in regards to lid. My everyday sewing basket does not have a lid. But, then the one with so many more sewing notions does have a lid. I was really thinking about shipping it and it being easier that ship with lid. So many goodies!
Big Hugs,
Debbie

I sketched it out. The outer layer is of heavier upholstery fabric and the lining is the extra pillow ticking. You can make it from 2 pieces - the front and sides and the lid, back side and bottom. Just decide on the size of the bottom and the height of the sides. I also added pieces of batting between the layers.

I was hoping we would finish harvest so I would have enough time for this swap. We did so please include me April. I came up with some great ideas in the tractor, now I have to get busy and pull them together.

Michele, this is what is written in the first post to be included for this swap. The last line mentions the container.
"For the swap, please include:
2 small pieces of fabric or cutter quilt
2-3 pieces of lace
2 pieces of ribbon
2-3 other (notions or embellishments) such as:
buttons
thread
embroidery floss
wooden spools
yoyo's
measuring tape
wooden clothespins
needles
Anything you can think of that a farmgal could use for sewing, slow stitching, scrapbooking, etc.
Wrap it up pretty, use an old tin, a fabric pouch, be creative!"

Oh April I just love your old sewing basket, such a cute idea. Most of my sewing stuff is still packed away. But, I have a feeling you will do this swap again next year!
