Sajou Alphabet Pattern

This is a Sajou Alphabet Sampler which I stitched onto an 18 Count Aida fabric with DMC 803. I have yet to make the fabric box for this because my first box was off on the cuts and I don't want to mess up my expensive chipboard. I ordered a Martha Stewart Scoring Board to help me with this problem. I plan on making this into a sewing box for my mother for Christmas. I would need to make the little accessories to match using the elements in the pattern. I am still fickled on what kind of fabric to use. I originally bought a very expensive flower fabric with 3 shades of blue and light grey but the flowers have a deco fell to it and I want it more vintage and stylish. Maybe I will use the Navy Blue Waverly Toile fabric. 

Point De Croix Fabric Covered Box

I found this free pattern while doing a search. I made it into a sewing box. I tried to get every angle possible. I used 22 Count Aida Fabric and DMC 3750. I used all vintage buttons in one frame and novelty buttons in the other. I made a miniature skein of thread and added twisted cord of the same color, swarovski crystal and Vintage Postcard Paris Novelty fabric. It came out beautiful but some of my cuts were off. This is my very first box. Because of that I ordered Martha Stewarts' Scoring Board which cuts down to the cm for cardboard boxes and making cards.
