I had a couple of queries about how the box linings were done, with the pockets on three, and the elastic strips on the alternate three, so when I was making another box, this time for a friend, I took some extra pictures that I hope will make it easier to understand.
I always sew the ends of the elastic together. The original instructions said to just stick them, but I'm not sure if this is sufficient.

I do stick the sides of the pocket to the card liner.

Then I pin the gathers evenly, making sure the elastic isn't pulled down.
