I snagged a Simplicity Steel Case Cabinet today
I am so happy!!!!
Will have to make room in my sewing room for it, but DH has a good attitude about moving it for me.
It was $25 at an estate sale.
I know that is a good price.
I wonder what these things go for.
I'd have probably paid up to $75 or so, I guess.
It wasn't on my list of things to look for, but I was happy to see it.
Do you know what a going rate for these cabinets is?
I love that the drawers have the dividers.
It's very clean.

I have one that my DH got years ago from the dumpster behind a Ben Franklin store, it is in my garage and full of clothing patterns from the 70s and 80s.
When I worked at Monique Fabrics in 1973-74, we could keep discontinued patterns but had to return the pattern envelopes for credit so lots of my patterns are without envelopes!
Maybe I should clean it out and store fabric in it like Tartan says...

I have 6 of those in my sewing room, plus one of the older taller Butterick ones, I paid $50 for each of them, then I have a 2 piece counter top on the 6, which makes for my cutting/quilting table, all 7 are full of quilting cottons, then 4 more in our garage, these were free.

Wonderful!! I tried to buy one when Walmart closed our fabric section at the local store. I never could find anyone to let me now about buying one, I guess they trashed them or sent them back to the company. I would love to have one to store fabric in. I hope to find one to purchase some day, but who knows when or where. Enjoy yours!
