Oh yes,, I have seen them !! But have never heard them called anything other than sewing basket or yarn basket depending on if it was used for crochet yarn or sewing items !! Not sure how the first ones came about but they were a craft project that many did with left over/vintage wall paper and posterboard or with empty cereal boxes !! We also used wallpaper sample books in the 60`s and yarn to sew the seams !!
