Isn't that just beautiful? I have a variety of storage for thread and sewing necessities, but a few years ago I decided I needed a small basket to carry embroidery supplies and bought this shaker box with a handle from Cabin Crafts TinSmith. When I ordered it I asked if it could be painted like a set of boxes from Mount Lebanon Shaker village. The craftsman, William Rickard, was so helpful and said yes even though it was not a style he normally offered. Now I have a little sewing basket that would make Coco Chanel proud. Plus, it doubles as a handbag now and then.
It may be a while until I get to those garters, I'll be traveling for a bit so they'll have to wait until I return. Maybe I'll stumble across the missing thread on my travels.

That is quite possibly the prettiest sewing box I've ever seen! I just have a bog-standard folding box on legs, but nothing as amazing as that. Hope you find your thread soon! Xx

I read your blog from start to finish last night and now I am hooked! You have created such beautiful corsets and I am totally in awe of the natural talent you have for it! I so can't wait to see the corselet finished. Thank you for sharing your journey!
ReplyDeleteHello Mosquito and Alesha! How nice to have you reading! And Amy, I found the thread, I has taken it off the machine to use it for the back stitching at on the shoulder straps and left it in the basket with the other embroidery supplies. Thank goodness I opened the basket to to work on another project!
ReplyDeleteThat is just utterly beautiful.
