I found this sewing box on a recent trip to a Jo-Ann store, and couldn’t wait to fill it with my sewing supplies! I’ve always been interested in sewing, doing the occasional project, and collecting cute notions and fabrics.

This box in particular had my name on it – I love fashion illustration, especially the images on vintage patterns like the ones on the fabric of this box.
I’m not going to go through everything I’ve decided to keep in my sewing box, but I thought I’d share what I consider my sewing essentials. In the pockets on the lid of the box, I just have some snaps and a set of needles.
This top tray is very useful for tools that I use often or like to keep handy during a project:
