Stitching Up Some Fabric Boxes

Today I am once again joining Sarah of The Fifth Street Palace and Abbi of Proverbs 31 Living for another Thursday of sharing a homemade Christmas project.

Back in February I made myself a fabric box using this tutorial. I keep my cloth napkins in it and have found the box to be practical and attractive.

Well, this past summer I cut out the fabric to make several more. This week I have made five that will be Christmas gifts. They really aren’t hard to make, but I definitely recommend using a good interfacing. I don’t think mine was stiff enough, but it was what I had on hand.

I plan to put some homemade goodies in the boxes. I have been making some candies, and I just posted last night about what I have made so far.

With our advent calendar and nativity sets from my mom and grandma, baking goodies, listening to Christmas music, and continuing to make gifts it’s beginning to feel like Christmastime. :-)

    Those are really pretty! I have seen a few different tutorials for these and some fabric covered boxes (over cardboard) online and thought they looked fun to make but I haven't tried it yet. Maybe someday that will make it to the top of my project list!

    Thanks for linking up to A Handmade Christmas.

    Your new blog design is very cute! I liked your old one too. Do you do that yourself?

    Have a great day!

    Oh I saw a really cool pattern for crochet boxes that were quite lovely. Those are very pretty. What a great idea for a Christmas goodies basket.
