My sewing essentials box

As we know that we have to look after our tools properly. Mine was kept in several plastic boxes and every time when I need I have to look for them.

Finally, I decided to do treat myself and my tools. I shopped at designated sewing shops but I did not see many varieties.

If you have very handy husband, which I have, he keeps his tools a a big box and when it opens you see everything what you need. I needed similar one but girly and smaller.

My husband suggested that I have to look at sports shops for fishermen's boxes, where they keep their hooks and other equipment. I went to Decathlon and Sports Zone, only two sports dedicated shops in Lisbon area. They had not many choices.

After a bit of disappointment I went to Leroy Merlin, hardware store and my luck was there. You have seen these boxes at hairdressers. When my older daughter saw it and she said that "Mummy bought a box to put her nailpolishes". Of course, my younger daughter, who should be at creche but staying with mummy, loved too.


It was the perfect choice for me choosing a Dexter aluminum case. I put everything there what I do need for my craft. I am ready to do some craft for a long time but only after my younger daughter gets better and goes to creche to enjoy herself and mummy.
