Situated right at the top of Leeds Kirkgate Market, The Sewing Basket is one of my more favoured haberdasheries. Although it sells the expected selection of useful items such as lace, thread, eyelets, elastic and a whole host of other things; I tend to visit the stall for a different purpose.
I am obsessed with the art of gift wrap. As I have previously mentioned, I have been known to lavish more money on the presentation than the gift itself, during the more penniless periods of my life! The Sewing Basket is a positive haven for my wrapping needs. Last Christmas, my theme was brown paper with bright, festive shades of thick, red ribbon. This stall supplied me with copious metres of the embellishment, at extremely reasonable prices. To the extent that I had enough money remaining to buy a red feather to place on the side. Receiving a gift fro me really is a sight to behold!
An excellent and conveniently located stall to satisfy your haberdashery needs, and more besides. read more
