workbaskets
Needlework storage containers
Workbaskets are containers for holding sewing supplies—thread, needles, scissors, fabric scraps, and projects in progress.
The term evokes domestic handwork from an earlier era: She kept her mending in a workbasket by the chair.
Now somewhat old-fashioned, as casual sewing has declined.
