Hello all,
it's me again, this time I'm looking for a pattern for a work basket. Sounds
so oldfashioned, but since I'm running around with my hand sewing utensils
all day long and already dropped my precious crane scissors I can see the
wisdom of our ancestors. ;-) I had in mind something made from some cotton
fabric and timtex, not too big, with one or two pockets on the inside, total
dimensions perhaps 20 x 20 x 20 cm with a handle for easy carrying. Thanks
for suggestions.
U.

Maybe you could adapt one from some of the fabric bowl patterns that seemed
so popular last year. Check out the projects on Nancy's Notions,
Clotilde's, and I think I've even seen some on sewing machine websites'
projects. Good luck.

Ursula, what about making a small tote, put pockets inside and Timtex
between the lining and outside for body. You can download Wild Things
from Wild Ginger free and get lots of net patterns for other things as well.

The self-stick magnetic tape is a great idea, although I'm not sure if I'm
read for abandoning my pin cushion yet (bought it in London, looks like it's
made from an old cushion they use in Anglican (?) churches to kneel on).
Anyway, I'm a great collector of tin boxes of all sizes, so that won't be a
problem. Thanks! ;-)
