Postcard and Box from Fabric

I do still sew...just can’t share much of it yet.

I gave making an abstract fabric postcard a try.  That was an interesting and not so easy experience for me.  But I will probably try it again sometime.  It was well received.

I needed to create a long narrow box for a special purpose for a special person.  This too was an interesting experience.  It needed to be flexible yet sturdy enough to keep it’s shape.

I used a stiff Pellon (or something similar, I don’t remember exactly what it was as it was leftover from another project from a few years ago).  It required some experiment sewing as I went along that happened to work out perfectly.  It also was very well received.  I was keeping my fingers crossed as I did not want to have to figure out a redesign.

It was a Christmas gift and I found a couple of fun novelty items to include along with some favorite candy of the recipient.  

Small Fabric Boxes

I was so inspired by Caroll"s detailed fabric box post, I could hardly wait to make a couple...so far.

This tallish narrow one will be living on my table housing my quick grab tools.  I have a jar inside this box because I have my Xacto knife in there and I don't want it cutting up the bottom of the box.

And this squattier box loaded with chocolate liqueurs will be a Thanksgiving hostess gift.

These cuties make up so quickly and are such fun.  I think there will be some more for Christmas time too.  

I've got to get those liqueurs wrapped up before they begin disappearing from the box!  **wink wink**
