I made several bags similar to this and and hang one on my closet doorknob. I put my panty hose and hand washables in it for the next laundry. That way, those items don't accidentally get mixed in with the jeans, shirts, etc. AND, I like looking at it!

It comes over me, too, when I have too many consecutive days without sewing anything. I try to have some kind of hand-work around so that if I can't get to the machine, I can at least hand-sew for a half hour in front of the TV. That helps. Right now, though, I just finished binding a quilt and have NOTHING for hand-sewing. But it is the beginning of the weekend. So I am optimistic.Nancy Near Philadelphiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08803134620826322075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32055924.post-39177317010686300492007-02-23T18:48:00.000+01:002007-02-23T18:48:00.000+01:00I think that collecting adorable tins such as your...I think that collecting adorable tins such as yours is definitely a love of many sewers. :-) I have so many and they all hold little treasures.
