Hi there all!
Finally got to do this project which I had to search a lot for in my laptop.....had forgotten where i saved it....lol!
Thanks to satinsewer I found it! :)
I love the way it comes together and forms such an adorable shape....the embroidery troubled me a little bit or I should say my thread! But it was pretty easy to do....hope you all like it!
Suggestions are always welcome :)

Looks stunning in red and gold.
Shortly after the war, I must have been 7 or 8, my aunt made me one like this in cardboard.Cream wallpaper decorated with fairy tale figures, a red buttonhole stitch around the panels, then whipstitched together. I loved it, was so proud of it and kept it till I got married some 18 years later. Your project brought back very nice memories, thank you!

This link doesnt seem to be working when clicked here....just go to www.skeldalehouse.com....look under free standing lace. ...Christmas lace SF and ornament covers 2006....go down to the end of the page! :)
I found the "free" design and instructions...thank you sooooo much. It is on my list of "to-do-soon" items, I think this is an item I might need to make for more than my grands, their mothers might be a little jealous :-) . I hope my finished box is as beautiful as yours. Thank you again.
I thought I might add the link if anyone else is interested...

Thanks for posting so many views of your box. It's really nice to see all the little details. With my old slow machine, it would probably take forever, but you have the perserverance to stick with it and get it done! What a fantastic project!

Beautiful work. If you know your thread is good then try a sharp needle. Slow the machine down. You can also vary the way you stabilize. I have not done this design so I don't know what is required.
Just by looking I think I would use stiffy felt and sticky vilene .
Hoop the viliene taut. Lay stiffened fabric on top. Under hoop a layer of stiffy felt and your outer fabric. I would also use the same thread in the bobbin as your top thread. Try this on the bottom piece and see if it helps. Great looking to me though.

Thank you dear and thanks for all the suggestions :)
Actually this had no use if stabilizer at all! I followed the instructions as they were given....it was a layer of fleece sandwiched between two layers of fabric...hooped together! I think the thread kept breaking because of the fleece lining inside....maybe....but it was ok....just a few times is still acceptable :)
I did run the machine on a lower speed ! But the end result was worth for me to handle a little thread breaks here and there...lol!

This is beautiful. Thanks for the link. Love that it is free. I would love to make one but I don't know when as my machine is verrrry sick at the moment and the tech Dr. says he does not like the sound of it and may have to write it off. That would not be a bad thing as I have had problems with it ever since new, Would be a good excuse to update to perhaps the Janome 15000. I do have my 11000 covered by insurance, but I don't know how much they would pay out.
My sister used to make boxes like these from birthday and Christmas cards many years ago. She advertised in the Womens Weekly here in Australia for used cards and was inundated with parcels. The local Post Office wondered what was going on as they could not deliver all the parcels and BIL had to go into town to pick them up. She had one big room literally covered 2 - 3 feet deep. Those were the days....Hugs Shirley

This has come up beautiful. A friends daughter is getting married in a couple of weeks and after seeing this I think I might just pluck up the courage to try in in her wedding theme colours.
What fabric did you use on the outside?

Thank you so much :) and thats a great idea! Go ahead and try it!
I just used something I had and I guess its some cotton silk kind of material....it is a bit stiff and was no trouble to sew ! You can use any fabric which isnt too fine and better use the closest match for the fleece lining inside! Although the instructions said to use white good that I used red....its barely visible! Good luck and do share when you make one :)

I LOVE this where did you get it?!?! My Aunt & Uncle would LOVE this!! I would make it from Organza or Tulle then insert batter operated tealights for a very cute decor effect. I bet they would use it for a table setting with some of their exchange students. TY for sharing would love to have this!
