First craft project of the year ✅ Found this cute vintage folding sewing basket for $1.29 that I reupholstered! It looks simple but was actually a nightmare because the original was likely sewn up and then the wooden parts were slotted through the fabric. Had to hand sew some parts to reassemble it😭 - ThreadSky

It’s not a sewing basket, it’s for yarn. And it looks great!

miasato.bsky.social•41 days ago

It’s for both or either. I have various project odds and ends in it.

demwriter.bsky.social•40 days ago

My mom had one of those. She kept her knitting in it.

auntie23yumplings.bsky.social•40 days ago

So pretty 😍

sonsofliberty.vote•41 days ago

So very cool.

latho17.bsky.social•41 days ago

Excellent work and how handy! Did you get that fabric at Hazelnut ( just a wild guess)

miasato.bsky.social•41 days ago

No, I believe this cut was a thrift store find!

sammarlowe.bsky.social•41 days ago

It’s gorgeous!

sydneybskey.bsky.social•41 days ago

moonikins-caryl.bsky.social•41 days ago

maggiemay8.bsky.social•41 days ago

rljennings.bsky.social•41 days ago

What a steal! They cost a fortune new.

lb8819.bsky.social•41 days ago

Very nice! It's nice to do something your self huh? Not made in China.

cydniey.bsky.social•40 days ago

My Gram had a basket like that for her never-ending slipper crocheting.

You did a wonderful job on a challenging project. Twice in my life, I have tried to make myself one of these from sketches and childhood photos. Twice I've failed. Just beautifully done. Bava!

tavia-r.bsky.social•40 days ago

Very nice! I had one years ago, for knitting stuff. I wonder what happened to it….

dmcbroome.bsky.social•41 days ago

Lovely!

sherryquilts.bsky.social•41 days ago

Nice

nutzys.bsky.social•40 days ago

You did a great job. Fabric pattern, excellent

pet57.bsky.social•41 days ago

I have inherited one from my MIL. Very practical for knitting magazines....

godswrath699.bsky.social•40 days ago

I have one made of metal 💚

ajummasuofeiya.bsky.social•41 days ago

I certainly can relate. I too also always encounter this. I think would be a good idea and end up struggling with the sewing project but still try to pull through to the end. You too managed the challenge well! Nicely Done! Great Work! 🫰❤️👍

odysseus93.bsky.social•41 days ago

Very good.

alaskan-dreams.bsky.social•41 days ago

Looks good

allenmramos.bsky.social•41 days ago

I feel like some strips of velcro might be an easier workaround.

catsandkimono.bsky.social•41 days ago

It looks great! 💖

reluxe.bsky.social•41 days ago

Looks so good !

lexycameron.bsky.social•41 days ago

Nicely done!

heartsongcrochet.bsky.social•41 days ago

My mom had one of those probably 50 years ago for her knitting when I was a kid. Brings back some fond memories!

lyndatt.bsky.social•41 days ago

Well done!

aattt.bsky.social•41 days ago

Cool!

twndad9.bsky.social•41 days ago

My Mom had one of those! She used it to hold skeins of yarn. Wish I had mastered that skill, but hot pads were my creative limit.

nmseeker.bsky.social•41 days ago

Lots of work but you got it and did a great job!

morpheus55.bsky.social•40 days ago

I love that. Used to have 1 as a girl. Wish I still did

qua12.bsky.social•41 days ago

A botched beginning, it's a great bargain if you are able to do your own repairs👍

woodsywolfman.bsky.social•40 days ago

Lots of hard work, but I bet now you could sell it for at least $2.29 and make a profit. Oh, wait.

watchlady.bsky.social•41 days ago

Well done! You took something groovy and vintage and gave it new life. Nice!

falkorfriend.bsky.social•41 days ago

turtlehoneybea.bsky.social•41 days ago

Wow it’s beautiful! Great job 💖👏🏽

bluebirdmelody.bsky.social•41 days ago

Nice job!

naturalonecrafts.bsky.social•38 days ago

I used to have one of these, and it broke, and I've been wanting to try and make my own. I loved storing my crochet project in it.

tristakh.bsky.social•41 days ago

I love that! Great for knitting too

miasato.bsky.social•41 days ago

I have my current knitting WIP inside as we speak 😆

mamao1950.bsky.social•40 days ago

That’s a find, even if it presented challenges!

lucy2.bsky.social•41 days ago

WOW! You did a good job!

shh-sky.bsky.social•41 days ago

this is beautiful, lovely work! my mom had one just like this 🩷

2739afr.bsky.social•41 days ago

i still have my grandmother's ,she passed away in 1986. She made it herself so many years before that. It makes me want to get mine out of storage and use it again. Such a great find!!!!

smilez4200.bsky.social•41 days ago

Great job!

butterfly10.bsky.social•41 days ago

Good job!

jillyfishers.bsky.social•41 days ago

Love this diy 😍

psumom1.bsky.social•41 days ago

I have one of those "vintage" sewing baskets.

franinupstate.bsky.social•41 days ago

Me. Too. Alas. It was the victim of my 15 lb orange flood. And I need to fix it.

zebrah.bsky.social•41 days ago

Very impressive. It came out beautiful

madlass.bsky.social•41 days ago

That is really cute! Love that is functional & reuse too 💜💜💜

buzzbelle.bsky.social•41 days ago

Great job though!

sdweisman.bsky.social•41 days ago

i think it looks great!

locksbyjessica.bsky.social•41 days ago

looooove

bobkathman.bsky.social•41 days ago

I bought one at a thrift store. I thought it was a magazine rack! Caution: mags are too heavy and will rip vintage fabric. Yrs look great!

mercurywoodrose.bsky.social•41 days ago

I had one for years too, and I thought it was for magazines for the bathroom, which makes no sense now that I think of it. Wow that’s a lot of work, but if you choose the fabric you love then it’s really fabulous.

sav333.bsky.social•41 days ago

So cute! Well done! I want to do this too

cgrizwalk.bsky.social•40 days ago

Looks great!

dkb84.bsky.social•41 days ago

susieblacksheep.bsky.social•41 days ago

rebelliousresource.bsky.social•41 days ago

sewonsister.bsky.social•41 days ago

Love it! ✂️❤️

Wow is cool

laylayd88.bsky.social•41 days ago

And it turned out beautifully.

Nice work!!

By cozying up to Russia, Trump might just be setting the stage for a grand bargain. He knows the real threat is China, and he's not one to fight on two fronts.
