I often get sidetracked when trying to finish my UFO's. I made this folding basket to use with sewing or crocheting. The fabric is from a set of drapes that I got for cheap at a rummage sale a few years ago. The pins were temporary. It is now all sewn together and being used. I like that it doesn't go all the way to the floor!
I bought this for $20 on FB Marketplace. It is about the size of a two drawer file cabinet.
I've tried searching on it with no luck. The cabinet is similar to ones sold by Nechi and a few other sewing companies. I think it might be from the 1940's or 50's.
This is a simple shift that is made of linen. I like wearing it except for the neckline. It cuts into my neck.
The flange had broken. What a mess! After picking up all the clothes I cleaned out my closet and got a few cobwebs removed. A metal flange replaced the broken plastic one and all the clothes are back up.

The seat slides out from the base:
The seat flips open and has storage inside it:
And the top of the cabinet opens up for a sewing machine!
This label is inside the chair:

So I cut a new neckline into it and trimmed it with some lace:
I am not quite happy with the lace yet, but the neckline is a lot more comfortable!
The other morning I went to get a top to wear and found this at the bottom of my closet:
Next up are my latest sketches.

Love the sketches, not so much the closet. I should make a UFO list, but am afraid it would terrify me.
I am so thrilled about your progress on your UFOs!!! Great work.
I see the cabinet now. I have one like that for my great grandmother's Necchi. I don't know when she bought it - maybe in the 1940s, but she was born in 1899 or 1900 and she would have been over 40. She was a seamstress, so unless she traded up to the Necchi, I think she would have had an older machine. the cabinet acts as my night table now, so it is a little hard to access and look for info.
