At one occasion a member of the class came up with a wonderful idea.
She brought me two very big chicken mix cantisters > In those days
they were plastic and had the correct diameter. I glued them
together bottom to bottom . I then made a bag big enough to fit
loosely over the canisters, and filled the space with firmly packed
sea weed. On both sides there was a string to pull the bag tightly
together. The nice thing about it was that the lid part of the
canister could be unscrewed and into it I could fit all my lace
equipment, pins scissors, patterns, bobbins and threads. The big
advantage was that it wasn't too heavy and very practical. I still
have it though I never use it.

Hi Miriam
This made me wonder if the larger sized cardboard tubes used for
postage could be used in the same way. In my case I would wrap felt
(woolen underlay for carpeting) around it a few times as I have some
of that on hand, but the hollow centre to use as storage - brilliant!
