Try Ebay or maybe your local thrift shop...I found a very lovely one at a second hand store...good luck...

I use a the Longaberger picnic basket for a sewing basket. They have all kinds of baskets with lids.

If you go to nextag and put in "sewing basket," they come up with the lowest price first. Nextag is a shopping website.

I Love the Janet Baskets and you can buy the lids extra, google Janet Baskets and see what you come up with. JoAnn's does have them online. I have one of the large and going to get two more.

I have the blue one pictured. And it's on sale!

It has a tray inside, lots of room for spools of thread and a pin cushion on the inside of the lid.

I love mine, especially when I hand sew in the living room.

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.

You made me go look, thank you. JoAnn's has the Janet Baskets' on sale 1/2 price and a free shipping coupon until Tuesday. I just ordered 4, I really love them. They are so easy to carry from one place to another.

Is this basket big enough to put an 8 inch pair of scissors in and a rotary cutter in?

I got mine from Hancock Fabrics. Might check their website.
