Your fabric covered box is just gorgeous. Thank you so much for
showing us how to make one! You did a wonderful job on the Tutorial. Have always wanted to make one - now I will! |
LL....I'll have to wait to make mine...it might make a great Valentines day gift box, don't you think?
|
That is sooooo cool, LL. It is definitely going on my list of "Want to Do" projects. It might be a good idea to do an "Active" thread one day (not until the new year, please!!) where everyone does it together while online so we could ask for help. Kinda like Cutie did with her mystery quilt.
|
Not sure how I would go about it, but I am willing to try, if anyone thinks they would need some help.
|
Thanks for posting the instructions for this tute. I think my granddaughter would love one.
|
So glad you like it Minda - I am still waiting for someone to post a pic of their box.

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.

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.
