Benefits of technology
The present invention is about a sewing basket that can be collapsed for easy storage and transport. It is made up of a base and an upper frame with a hinged lid and handle. The basket has collapsible sides that can fold in an accordion pattern to make it easy to pack. The basket also has supports to hold it in its extended position. The technical effects of this invention are an easy-to-use, compact sewing basket that can be conveniently collapsed for easy storage and transport.
Problems solved by technology
While useful for their purpose of storing sewing supplies, the size of known sewing baskets and the empty void of the enclosed space greatly increases shipping costs and increases shelf space required to sell these known sewing baskets.
Unfortunately, most consumers of sewing baskets already own their own sewing tools and view purchasing sewing baskets with accessories as a waste of money.
Furthermore, in order for the seller to profit from the sale of the sewing baskets the accessories must be low-cost which often means lower quality accessories.
As for the nested approach, the smaller sewing kits are generally viewed by purchasers as too small for their intended purpose.
As a result, the smaller sewing baskets are more difficult to sell and often must be sold for little to no profit.
