I made skirts, dresses, even a coat for myself. I also did cross stitch and tapestry. Not sure my eyes could cope any more. So that's a lifetimes collection of cotton reels. About 1 1/2 drawers are filled with threads. The coloured darning wools were a boot sale find. I don't suppose I'll ever darn with them but I loved the packaging. <br />One day, when the house is less demanding I'll do more sewing. I started a 20 minute patternless skirt the other day. After two hours planning, measuring and cutting I stopped. Didn't even get as far as the sewing machine! Something went wrong because it's huge. Measuring isn't my thing. :/Emma Kate at Paint and Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186765005284249653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677913901738632312.post-45814333346625330962015-06-15T11:53:00.174+01:002015-06-15T11:53:00.174+01:00Did you get all the cotton reels/cards included wi...Did you get all the cotton reels/cards included with the chest???????LizzieLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00854229133345270816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677913901738632312.post-80440099440349932182015-06-15T08:49:32.204+01:002015-06-15T08:49:32.204+01:00That haberdasher's bank of drawers has me in r...That haberdasher's bank of drawers has me in raptures, I adore it! xxxVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677913901738632312.post-41727486057887438762015-06-14T22:24:32.968+01:002015-06-14T22:24:32.968+01:00Thank you Mary.

You clearly have excellent taste and imagination. <br />Luckily you can still pick them up on ebay or local facebook selling sites for a good price so GO FOR IT.

I love your cotton reel chest, my aunt has one also but without all the accoutréments. Your lamps are lovely too, I'd say you got a bargain there.
