I have been going through the contents of the cabinet, pulling out fabrics I am no longer in love with and can happily donate. I guess you could say they have risen in stature, ha ha! The buttons (which, to be honest, gathered layers of dust in those spooners) are now housed in two very large jars in my sewing room closet. They used to be on the floor next to the cabinet. The bandboxes, covered with vintage wallpaper, were purchased years ago at an antique mall in Atlanta while visiting my sister. What a great opportunity to downsize! Case in point: I had more than a dozen vintage spooners and celery vases filled with buttons on top of my sewing cabinet. I replaced them with three bandboxes filled with sewing notions: Most of the contents of the room had to be moved out temporarily, and it gave me pause to consider how much stuff I had crammed into it over the years. Sad but true! What I have done is edit the contents of my sewing room following the December wind and rainstorm that resulted, at great inconvenience, in a beautiful new ceiling: It’s hard to believe that we’re almost two weeks into the New Year and I’ve not sewn a single stitch.

Our borders were 47 5/8″ long, but you should measure yours to be sure of the length.
