Something fun

                          Not to serious

I think sometimes we take ourselves way to serious, especially when it involves one of our hobbies.   

While visiting one of the many blogs I like,   I noticed this fabric box. It is cute, not serious at all and I had to give it a try.
You will find the tutorial here--

                    Not to serious fabric

                                               So far, very simple

                                                Looking like a box. I think I could use it just like this or-----

                  I can fold the top down as shown in the tutorial
                   don't you think it needs cherry buttons?

                             Wonder if I can find some
                                       cherry buttons

                           There you have it. as simple as
                                          one, two, three

  5. Yes, I do think cherry buttons would be perfect. Could you just do a regular red button then embroider the stem and leaf to make it look like a cherry? Or use fabric for the leaf like an applique?

    But here are a couple of links if you would prefer actual cherry buttons.

  7. Love it!! I made one of those once but it sure wasn't as cute as yours, Nonnie!! Thanks for the link, because its a cinch I wouldn't have remembered how to do it. I hope you find some buttons or bells or tassels or something to attach to those points...they are screaming for the perfect accent.
