My New Chair Side Hand Sewing Station


A purchased hat box, and a re-purposed table base, it stands 24" high 
and sits next to my favorite chair for having my hand sewing supplies
ready to use.

The lid has a pocket for my pattern.


This is the hat box, empty - showing the plywood stabilizer.



Here it is filled with a current project.
Scrap wood, dowels, an empty spool, tubing, and Epoxy 
were used to make a caddy.


This is the empty spool before drilling, and gluing.

The cardboard hatbox will be replaced with 
a wooden cheese box
that will be sanded, lined and finished.

But - I couldn't wait to use it!

It is a copy of one I bought at an
Arts and Crafts Fair in the 1980s, 
and lost in a move.
