In the seventies, I got involved with decoupage and macreme. In one of my classes, we used baskets to make purses. I even lined mine with quilted fabric. Decoupaged a spray of daisies on the lid and "antiqued it." Used navy Rub and Buff on the wood slats. It's still around and houses some of my threads. I'm thinking that it would make me a great sewing basket. Need to put in elastic or something around the inside edges to slip the scissors, etc, into. Or little pockets.
