After that, I stitche the gathers to the box lining basic cover
I also machine embroidered a quilting design on the box lid fabric. I used some metallic threads, but they didn't show up that well, and ended up stitching the design three times over. On reflection, perhaps my choice of fabric didn't show the stitching off to its best advantage, but I know my friend will like it anyway.

Hard to take a pic that shows the stitching, a simple feather design.
