Vintage Sewing Machine Shop.....Come on in and sit a spell
I couldn't find anything that was recommended for the project (boning or the heavy strapping used for shipping) so I raided my cupboard and found an empty margerine container and cut strips, stitched them end to end on Elaine and covered the strip with batting and it worked great. Pretty cheap way to go. I live in a very small town with basically zero shopping options so you make do but I kind of like putting the old brain to work like that.
I never hit a trash can so I like my little fabric bowls better for at the sewing machine. This one I made to use when I sit in my ez chair doing hand work or cross stitching to catch threads. It's weighted and sits well on the arm of the chair. It was a new project I just had to try.
Thanks everyone for all your feedback about clicking/clacking noises. Lillian and Pocahontas both sew wonderfully regardless of their clicks and clacks.
Sold by "Hale's Good Good's", attached is add from 1910.

It's cute and I'm looking forward to giving this a go. The felt is nearly gone -- I guess I should replace that. BTW, I paid $50 plus tax.

I think you can use pieces of metal tape measures. My DH is a carpenter and sometimes he breaks his and I take 'em apart and cut them for different things. Must be careful of sharp edges, though.
