I like to observe Distaff Day by organizing my sewing boxes, but it didn’t happen this year until February 4th.

A popular style of sewing box that emerged in the 1950s/1960s was the wooden sewing box that was built to be freestanding. Some of these resembled picnic baskets in that they opened with two hinged doors on the top, while the accordion style (with layered shelves that used external hinges to store more stuff in a compact space) was useful for serious sewers who needed a lot of space.

My husband found mine at a flea market and gave it to me for Christmas over a decade ago.
