Friday finds - Accordion Style Sewing Cabinet

This post is specially for my ma-in-law and all those who love their needles and spools!In continuation to my feature on antique and vintage sewing machine>>HERE..

I tend to see sewing cases quite frequently in my antiquing trips. Among the few styles I have seen, let me share the ones which are called sewing cantliver (accordion style) cases.

another one
Pretty is'nt it!

This one has a cushioned top with tapestry fabric. I later came to know that the cushion was for sewing pins and needles.

one with out legs (a very rustic n shabby chic piece)

Vintage pieces are sold for anywhere between $50 to a few hundred dollars. If you are into sewing, I am sure you would want to own a preloved vintage/ antique one. I know my ma-in-law would love to....:)


Before I leave just a reminder about the CSN Giveaway on the Design Enthusiast

  1. I love those accordian-style sewing boxes. I should look for one when I'm out thrifting. I'm using a little plastic box now that's bursting at the seams.

  2. Wow! Wow! and Wow! I have been searching for neat way to store my sewing supplies since the day I bought my first sewing machine. I am now using plastic boxes in all kinds of shapes and sizes! This is a great find. What a neat and tidy way to store. I love the blue rustic one without legs. The moment I saw this, I made up mind to own one of these!
    Older generations always had better knack to design neat, multi-purpose storage spaces! We have so much to learn from them :)
