I have my cardboard cut out and my material picked , now to just get started, I used two sheets of card stock, it was easier for me to cut out, I hope it will hold up If any of you think not please let me know. I have to get som poly batting, for the inside. I hope all of you have a wonderful day.

Elle, all three of your gift boxes are lovely and I am sure that the girls never noticed any mistake. I love your box too, it came out beautiful!
Pat I love how your box came out, purple, white and green are my favorite color combos.
Brush you also did a beautiful job on your boxes for Christmas presents. Did you wait until Christmas to give them? LOL
Well LaceLady your tutorial seems to be a hit with us all. I have bookmarked the tutorial and have to get a couple of projects out of the way before I try it myself. But you can be sure I will because they are beautiful!!!

Thank you for the nice comments Penny, I look forward to seeing your box in due course.

Don't forget you need enough to pad the lid too.

They just said that I couldn't use them to mail anything other than priority mail via USPS...they didn't say "Don't make a sewing box with them!!" And...to be honest...the large flat rates, after I checked them, won't make the 8" circle without a fold seam in them...~sigh~ So I'm going to steal the cardboard off of the boss' desk blotter! ~grin~

I presume that is because the boss didn't say not to use it for a sewing box too?
