Mammars old sewing box....

[kookaloo_starr]

...has a new lease of life it is now my footstool/crochet centre

I added foam to the lid and recovered it with a nice upholstery fabric to replace the worn black vinyl and my piece de resistence - I added a kitchen roll holder to the underside for my thread. I can now sit with my feet up and get on with some crochet Mammar was an expert knitter but I'm sure she wouldn't hold that against me

Ingenious idea! I'm sure Mammar would be proud.

What a great idea! Just do your stitching, and the thread will roll right off!

How lovely to have her sewing box and to use it anew.

[HomekeepingGran]

Mammar would approve, I just know it. Very nicely done! The thread holder is a great touch!

[dobermama]

what a wonderful way to re-purpose something with so much meaning!!! And the idea of the towel holder for the thread, genius! You might want to market this type of thing!

[I Create]

Oh, I think you are so smart! What a handy item you have created and such a nice sentimental piece, too.

[kookaloo_starr]

It works well too, I can sit with my feet up and crochet now
