Quick Change

Is anyone else excited about getting back on the trail of Estate sales and garage sales??  It’s been a slow start here so far, but I picked up a couple bargains last week.  I just couldn’t pass up this $4.00 sewing box because my mom has one just one just like it: IMG_0590

A coat of purple spray paint made the plastic fake wood a little more bearable!IMG_0599IMG_0605IMG_0602

I’ve been on the look-out for a container for all my embroidery supplies and threads, and this box was just what I needed! Plus, it was much cheaper than the wooden spool holders and keeps all the thread protected.

It even had the plastic tray that rests on top to hold bobbins, needles and notions!  I covered the inside of the lid with a scrap of tiger fabric to cover the ugly faux velvet that was there.
