 Needle-workers Project Box

                          

                 Constructed from locally grown wild cherry, this needlework box has been designed to fulfil the needs of the serious needle worker. It is the last in a series of prototypes and has taken several years to come to fruition following close consultation with needle workers, both here and abroad. A special thanks must go to Laura Brown for her invaluable advice.

 

The swing handle sewing box has the circumference of a size #6 Shaker oval box and the height of a size #7 all the better to accommodate a divided tool tray. This is itself large enough to hold a thread keeper, scissors, tape etc, etc and in addition provide storage below.

Directly under the tray is a large spacious lined compartment 90mm deep, to hold work in hand and other effects.

 

                            The lining comprises of a padded heavy weight cotton gingham neatly held in place by invisible fixing. The lining also covers the support for the tray giving a really neat appearance. The sewing box can be conveniently carried using the strong steam bent handle, this flips out of the way when not needed, making easy access to the interior.

 

 

Each of my needle-workers boxes is signed and dated, then finished with a hard wearing lacquer before final waxing.
