Hand-Stitched Boxes: Plastic Canvas, Cross Stitch, Embroidery and Patchwork

I knew exactly what I was getting as to the contents of the book because I have a copy on long-term loan from a friend. However, I plan to make boxes as one of my hobbies and need my own copy. This book combines interesting projects with clear instructions and very attractive photos of the finished items, so it really works for me (oh, the temptation to put in 'ticks all the boxes'!) I have made a version of the hexagonal box in the top right of the picture (which has drop-down sides for use as a sewing box) and I plan to make another from this book, which I expect to be even better.

wanted this mainly for the card and fabric boxes. I've made four of the designs and adapted one to my own dimensions, however, some of the measurements quoted seem a bit out when inches are converted to millimeters so its best to check. the craft vilene mentioned is sometimes sold as pelmet vilene.only marked the rating down due to having to check all the measurements!

Although the book was late arriving, it was well packed. It is exactly what I was looking for, and I know I will make a lot of the projects in it. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. These boxes will make ideal gifts.

This book is very interesting with lots of ideas for making boxes. Some are cross stitch, some using plastic and some using card, so no matter what you are looking for you should find it here. I purchased this book primarily to make a drop sided Victorian style sewing box and wasn't disappointed. Great box book. It arrived well packaged and promptly.

Good book and some very good projects
