Fabric covered needlework box
#201
Lacelady,
I did enjoy making ! Thank you for the pattern.
I am in the middle of making two more. I think the two (together) will take about the same time as the first one.
Both are cut out, one has the fabric glued. Taking a break for now, will get to work probably after supper.

ButterflySpain,
I just love the last Oriental fabric box you posted! Oh so pretty.
Alas, I do not have any Oriental fabric in my stash, so I must find something else. I am currently hunting up/down(?) some cardboard.

Couple questions on the interior supplies. Would poster board
be stiff enough to use? Foam core that is a bit less than 1/4"
thick, could it be used or is that on the too thick side of
being usable, and if so, would you have to adjust any of the
other pieces so that it would work? Have not been able to
get to the store that handles matt board as you suggested.

Having made three I would suggest that 1/4" is too thick. it will make the boxes very heavy as well. Even if you glue two thin pieces of card together that would work. I can only suggest using pizza boxes that way. Hope that helps.
