For the new Matchless spinning wheel, I needed a little tool basket for oil, grease, oriface hook, etc. It was easy enough to make them, so I made 3. I'd done it before ... Instructions for how to make it are here from The Crafty House.
This one is made from a 12-inch square of fabric, cut from a woven-style skirt from the 90s. I love this fabric so much, I've gotten several projects out of it since it became too worn out to wear anymore.
From the top, it looks like a flower!
The buttons are made by a potter at a craft show a few years ago. I liked the glaze on them, and thought I could use them for button closures on journals. But they work here, too!
The open view.
Here it is open, but empty.
What goes into the Tiny Tool Basket?
Oil / lube to keep the metal parts in good working order.
The oriface hook.
In total, I made 3 Tiny Tool Boxes, because I couldn't decide on a particular fabric combination.
The others will probably be gifted.
