A box in a weekend
You might wonder what I have been upp to this weekend... Well I made a box.
I have all kinds of handpiecing projects in the livingroom and I thought I would make a box for all of it so that it looks a bit more tidy. Also it is always a plus to know were things are...
I started on friday afternoon, together with my friend Helena and Weronica, who also wanted to make a box, but made very different ones.
The fabric dilemma:
You know when you have a fabric which is just beautifull. You know that you want to use it for something special, but don't know what. I had bought a fabric for making this box. I didn't think about using my special one because I was saving it for something special. But I dicided that the box was going to be special and there was no reasson to keep saving this fabric so I used my special fabric from Robert Kaufmann. I read the same kind of thoughts in an other blogg by Linda. So here it is in my special fabric! The size is approx: 16 inch by 10 inch by 10 inch.
This is the outside of the box:

And the tray I made for holding my sissors and so on:
Well this took all weekend!
Hope you hade a great weekend as well!

This is a great idea! Beautiful fabric too. I love the bag, and just wish I could be so productive! Hope you are well!
Hi Barbara,
The box is great! I have an Ikea plastic box that I am using for the same purposes. But it has no tray and no fabric on it at all :(
Great and perfect job and just two day to make it !
What did you place uder the fabric? It looks perfect!
I am reading your blog from time to time.
I like you quilts and thougths, you are my age - almost:) - 28 1/2; and my father has visited Vasteras several times and showed me pictures. So you can see I do have reasons to like your blog and your creations :)
