Fabric Boxes

A couple of weeks ago I took a class on box making.  I have made a couple of them before, but every time I take a class, I learn a little something.  My friend Betty was the teacher.  She is a former school librarian, very precise and organized.  The best thing she did was to cut the mat board for us.  This saved a ton of time, and I know her cutting is superior to mine.  

I used one of my ribbon embroidery practice pieces on the top of my box.  I was going to make a red box, but the blue from my stash worked better than the red I had, so blue it is.







I'm in the process of making a couple of more utilitarian boxes without the embroidery.
