Hi everyone! Earlier this month I shared sneak peeks of the latest “It’s all about the Stitching Classic Dies” re-release by Eileen Hull. If you missed that post that I shared you can find that HERE. But today I’m sharing the complete project using the Cantilever Sewing Box Diecut along with a few other dies by Eileen. So let’s get started!
First, I gathered all the scraps of Mat Board I had been saving because the hinges, feet, lids and boxes are small and this is a great way to use up scraps. Side note, there will be a lot of cuts for this project.
Next, I covered mat board for the feet, hinges and lids with Adhesive Sheets and placed patterned cardstock from the 6″x8″ Rouge Paper Collection onto the mat board. These are the cuts you will need to make for each of the following parts for the sewing box:
Two Hole Hinges: Eight Cuts
Triple Hole Hinges: Four Cuts
Feet: Two Cuts
Lids: Two Cuts
Boxes: Six Cuts
Second, I didn’t cover the mat board for the boxes since I planned on cutting cardstock from the 12″x12″ Rouge Paper Collection to fit the boxes, this was for the inside and outside of each box. I know that’s a lot of work but is so worth the extra effort for a clean and neat look.
I covered the outside of four of the boxes and two of the boxes I adhered together before covering.
Third, I punched out the holes on the outside before adding the hinges and Brads to each of the boxes. I then cut to fit cardstock for the inside of each box. I also glued the lids to the top boxes.
Fourth, I cut out two leaves, four centers and eight of the smaller flowers from the Envelope, Folder and Flowers Thinlits, three leaf sprigs from the Wreath and Snowflake Thinlits and two flowers from the Folio Page, Pockets and Flowers Thinlits.
I took all of the flowers that are from the Envelope, Folder and Flowers Thinlits and inked the edges with a red chalk ink before shaping each with a Stylus. I layered and glued four of those flowers on top of each other along with a shaped center and a leaf. I did the same for the other of flower, center and leaves but set those aside.
Next I shaped with a stylus the other two flowers from the Folio Page, Pockets and Flowers Thinlits, another center and the all the leaf sprigs. I adhered one layered flower, sprigs and the other two flowers to the corner of the lid. I did added a flat back pearl to the smallest flower and loops of thread to finish that side of the lid.
Fifth, for the other lid I fussy cut two flowers from one of the sheets of 12″x12″ Rouge Paper Collection, shaped with a stylus and glued on top of each other. I added a leaf and center to the flower before gluing to the lid. I also added more leaf sprigs, the other layered flower, a fussy cut ticket, pearl top pins, lace and loops of thread.
Sixth, I used two sewing bobbins as knobs to open the lids. I adhered to each lid and punched a small circle from cardstock and glue to each spool. I also glued the feet to the bottom of the sewing box.
This sewing box is perfect to store sewing supplies in but would be great to hold craft supplies, candy or add trinkets and give as a gift. What would you do if you created one? Let me know in the comments below.
