* flower-trim felt box

Posted on July 1st, 2006 by maitreya. Filed under Sewing/Fabric Crafts.


My card storage bins are starting to fill up. I’ve been throwing gift cards in with the normal-sized cards, and they all tend to get lost in the bottom, so here’s a new box to store them. It’s from a new Japanese craft book, of course. Looks like I don’t have the book on Crafting Japanese yet, sorry, will get it added soon. This book is seriously so right up my alley. Lots of little felt boxes. The book wanted me to hand sew up the sides, but screw that. I used the zigzag stitch on my machine instead and it turned out exactly like the picture. I see a lot of these in my future. Any excuse to use my little binding tool.

    Such a great idea! You could use those for *so* many things. I’ve been looking for an organizer for my bedside table drawer … but now I think I’ll just make my own.

    Oh that’s so cute! And I totally agree with your “screw that” as far as hand stitching the sides. I don’t know what’s up with me lately but I have fallen head over heels in love with the zig-zag stitch!

    oh i love this! the way the contrast stitching peeks through at the corners–lovely! I think i could find all sorts of things to go into little boxes like that.
