sewing basket
Needlework supply holder
A sewing basket is a container for storing needles, thread, scissors, pins, and other supplies for mending or needlework.
Traditionally wicker or woven with a hinged lid, though any dedicated container serves: She kept her sewing basket by the armchair.
The term evokes domestic handwork and an era before disposable clothing.
