So far so good, started renovating one of the sewing boxes I have, but more sanding to do and then on to the details, but it's coming along and the wood will look good once it's waxed.

Almost finished these, they need staining but they're mostly done, and after that I've got this 1960's sewing box to sort out, not as big as it looks in the pictures, needs some work on the finish.

Despite the cold I've been in the workshop sprucing up another sewing box, this one is a little different, mid century and made from what I think is solid Beech, it's unusual as sewing boxes go, should be finished soon.

The Blue Angels had all their uniforms made by the SewingBox across the street for 43 years the local company dropped everything worked day and night. A 5 yr contract was about $400k.
This year without warning the contract was given to a new company for $1.6 M.
ITS NOT EVEN A US COMPANY

Mid century sewing box now complete, the outside has been refinished and waxed and the inside is in original condition as the finish inside was okay the darker colour gives an interesting contrast

When I was a little girl, as a gift for my Mom, I made her this pincushion, that fit perfectly in her sewing box.
I love 💗 that she treasured it enough, to use it the rest of her life – and that it’s come back to me, to treasure, with her sewing box. 🥰❤️

A real sewingbox! Probably came with the Singer machine. My grandmother had a Singer with a foot pedal.

Maybe it's the investigative journalist in me, but I'm really curious about how this contract was awarded.
So sad to see a small woman-owned business literally cut out of the work they've been doing for the Blue Angels for decades.

Another govt contract fuckup. The #SewingBox has been making & repairing #BlueAngels uniforms for 40+yrs & are right outside the base. But, w/out warning the contract's given over to a co in VA.

The whole style thing has been odd. I've seen three occasions when they have both worn a version of the same colour shade. Except while one went haute couture from Paris while the other went Sue's Sewingbox from the Streatham high street.
