October Challenge |
Do you remember my travel sewing box I made out of an old watch box? Well inspired by Julie at the latest meet up I have added an item and I think now finished my box - and I love it :)
Here is the box all packed with scissors, threads, measure tape and my new orts pin cushion. I have covered the inner lid of the box too.
Travel sewing box
I used an old jam jar from Saints and used it to make a pin cushion orts jar - somewhere to stick my needle and pins and collect my orts when on holiday.

I have just realised it's nearly the end of the month so I best add my Stitch from Stash report. I have loved doing this, it's amazing what you find when you look. I have had a bit of a spend this month though.

Hello Clare,
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will get all the stitching done. Sweet and Petite is how I would describe your latest box creation. Just so pretty.
Happy days.

Lovely ornament finish Clare, and the box is fabulous. I just love the idea of using one of those mini jam-jars to make a tiny pincushion jar. Guess I'll be pocketing the empty jars next time we have a cream tea
ReplyDeleteAmazing what other folks find a use for, I'm sure you'd all seen my little pincushion before?
ReplyDeleteYou did a super job with the little jam jar (I've got a couple of those stored away for just such a little project when I get round to it. The mini needlework box is adorable and I think I recognise that covered tape measure too.....
