I don't know if you're like me but I was forever rummaging through my sewing drawers looking for my scissors, seam ripper, etc; until my sister Barbara made this for me. She made one for me and our sister Susan off the one she had that someone had made for her. I found a pattern in Simplicity for the sewing bucket and wanted to share this with everyone. Now I no longer have to rummage, everything I use often like scissors, seam ripper, tape, marking pen, etc; is right there in my bucket and it looks so cute. It fits over a 48 oz coffe can. It would make a great gift for yourself or a friend. On a different note, I spent most of yesterday reorganizing my sewing room. I had been sewing on a 6 ft folding table with another one set up as a cutting table. It worked alright but I have a very bad back and the table was just too low. Hancock fabrics have their Hobby tables on sale and I went over and bought one. The one I bought has two large drawers (good place to put your olfa cutters) and folds out to 60 in. but better yet it folds up when not in use. I still am using one of the 6 ft tables to sew on. I have my regular sewing machine, my embroidery machine and a 1951 Singer electric. Sews like a dream and is great for those heavy items you might need to sew like hemming jeans and things like that. I might add I call this my "Woman Cave". My little peace of heaven where I can go in, shut the door, turn on the tv and chill. Till later, keep on sewin' and creating ladies!
