No, I really do.
You see I'm decluttering - BIG TIME! and I just pulled out my old sewing basket - a yellow plastic thing a bit like this

But a cheaper version, that I think I got for free with a sewing machine over 20 years ago....or more.
Its lid had broken off.
And it was dusty and smelly.
So I threw it out.
Maybe I regret that now.....maybe it could have been saved? Reborn somehow?
Too bad.
It's gone.
So I started looking for a new one....first of all on etsy.

I'll have to go and have a look.
Or I could just use an old shoe box?
Have you got a swing box or basket?
What do you use?
Any helpful suggestions gratefully received....any suggestions at all really.

I use a vintage sewing basket that I've had since I was young. (I guess that would put me in the same vintage category as the sewing basket.) I also have a variety of other things (trays baskets, small boxes that catch things as I sew . . . which sometimes makes it hard to find where I put something. I hope you find one you like.
Oh a vintage one would be lovely Clare. Haha, I'm sure you're not vintage!
I will go basket searching next week, in the meantime they are all in a plastic box : (
