Very nice tutorial. I really like the French seams. Thank you for taking the time to create this.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments.
I wanted to add that if I do another 15" square, I will probably make my corners smaller thereby making a shorter but fatter box. :D |

When you did your French Seam you removed another 1/2" (3 1/2" total) from each corner which made your box taller.

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. :D:D:D

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!
