Wow I couldn’t believe you handstitched all sides, so much work but I’m sure it’s well worth it knowing it’ll be strong and sturdy, I’ve made these covered in cardstock so will definitely give fabric and lace a go. Look forward to part 3 xx
Hi Mary, Your instructions are clear and concise, I am really enjoying watching how you create these as I think they are gorgeous as well as extremely useful. Hugs xx : )
Hi Mary! Thank you so much for doing this tutorial! I wasn't sure I was going to try but your instructions are great! I'm caught up to where you left off and I'm so excited because cutting and measuring is a drag! Lol! So far so good! Hugs...
Yes, at least l centimetre Leslie, perhaps l.5 cm if fabric allows. Thanks for watching and hope you manage to follow along and make a nice box. Warning, they can be compulsive. Enjoy the process.
I’ve made a few of these boxes over the years and I take my hat off to you for doing a tutorial, it’s quite an achievement Mary I don’t think I could tackle one well done 😊💖
Bit stressful inasmuchas I don't want to forget the smallest detail. An example, I did not mention how big the seam allowance should be but I'm hoping common sense will prevail. Tutorials are hard work but I am constantly asked to do this one. The funny thing is about ten years ago I said I would not do anymore, I had already done too many and here I am starting all over again lol. Nothing is new is it, what comes round goes round. Didn't the Victorians start this?
Lovely Demo Mary, Long Time Since I Made One Of These It Was A Triangle Shape And When Open It Had Sweets In, Made For After Christmas Dinner, Just Something Different, This One Is Beautiful Mary If You Could Give The Measurements In Inches Please, I Will Give This A Go For My Sewing Bits And Bobs, Looking Forwards To The Next Video, Stay Well And Safe Hugs Lynn XX
You can use any thickness of card that is fairly rigid. I use mount board for all of the sections of the box. I have used thinner card for the lining sections but there are no hard and fast rules about thickness of card.

Mary, I'm inspired to do this project using your excellent instructions. Please tell me the yardage (outer and inner) required.
Lovely, clear instructions Mary. I shall need some fabric before I begin but so far, it all looks very easy to follow. TFS 💗

I love the print on the fabric.
Are your fabric pieces 1 cm bigger all around the board pieces? It looks like that too me but i could not find the info in any of the 4 parts.

Very nice tutorial Mary. I'm going to watch you put this all together before I do any cutting. =^^=
Good idea to watch the whole thing, that is how I learned years ago. TFW x
I am still a little confused about which cards should be cut from thick vs. thin card stock.
