Features of sewing baskets and boxes

Cantilever designs feature multi tiered storage compartments. This Victorian style of sewing box opens out horizontally to reveal multiple sections each of which is easily accessible for storing your sewing items. This style is ordinarily found in wooden sewing boxes

Many sewing boxes feature a simple lid and base design. These lids can be wholly removed to make the internal compartments completely accessible. These are typically padded inside with handles for easy carrying and transportation.

Sewing boxes typically come with removable plastic compartments that feature more storage space underneath the lid. Additionally, these storage compartments are usually divided into multiple areas to store separate pieces of sewing equipment such as thimbles, reels and different coloured threads.

Wicker baskets have simple and beautiful designs. They typically feature a single large compartment to keep all your sewing pieces in one place.

Some sewing boxes contain an inbuilt pin cushion for keeping loose pins together as well as pockets for storing extra items.
