Sewing Basket – An outlet on the Lower East Side where Ann Elizabeth Smith bought the fabric she used for the reversible coat she wore in Dark in Death. She purchased five yards of the fabric on Black Friday in 2060. Big bolts of fabric rose in stacks on tables, hanks and balls of yarn hung from walls. Spools of thread - huge to tiny - formed pyramids or towers. Buttons - also huge to tiny - glinted and glowed. Big, cheerful signs marked sections: BUTTON WORLD, YARN CITY, ON NEEDLES AND PINS. Fake people - men, women, children, even household pets - were suspended from the ceiling, and they all smiled.[1]
It was owned by Sherwood, managed by Karleen, and the clerk who waited on Smith when she bought the “Playful Penguins” fabric was Lydia. Sherwood also owned alpacas, and gave Peabody several skeins made from alpaca yarn after admiring her handiwork on the scarves she and Eve were wearing.[2]
