Nice lesson on making these fabric boxes - will for sure keep this in mind for the holidays!
love this thanks
I love to collect roosters of any kind. I also love embroidery thread for my machine. My favorite color is purple and i am just a plain old country girl.lol
Great job of converting this box to less bulk. Great Tutorial!!
Very nice tutorial. I really like the French seams. Thank you for taking the time to create this.
Clever...thank you.
I have to sew one up for myself, I made four of them, but gave them all away. Isn't that the way it goes?
[QUOTE=SewExtremeSeams;6434670]My tutorial shows you how to make French Seams when constructing a Fabric Box as first shown to us on http://seaside-stitches.blogspot.com...-tutorial.html.
Thank you for making this tutorial available, along with the one you adapted from.
Yes, elnan, my hat is off to seaside stitches blogspot for starting this whole fad. I wrote to her and asked her permission to make a tutorial on her boxes with the French Seams. The French Seams were a challenge to myself since I, at the time, had not made French seams in YEARS.

I used your tute and didn't do the French seams, just sewed those corners down and found that it fit nicely over a tissue box. So the first one I made I just tore off the top of the box and left it in there for holding buttons. The next one I made I zigzagged a large circle in the center before I sewed the corners and then put it over a tissue box for the tissues to come out of the hole. My husband loves it and thinks it would be cute quick Christmas gifts for my co-workers. So far I have done 6 of them. I am finally using all those fat quarters I have been saving for a "rainy day". Thanks for the tute!
Would love to see your boxes, can you post some photos?Originally Posted by pyffer3
