Fabric Box Update

The fabric box that I started last week is just about finished. I’ve completed the beading and hand embroidery for the top of the box and although I’ve used the same design for the three sections, the embellishing is slightly different on each section which makes it look more interesting I think.

I decided to make the lining for the box using this technique for making fabric from ribbon and it’s turned out very sparkly indeed.

It took a little longer than expected to finish the pieces because of the extra work making the lining, however I’m loving the way it’s looking and I should be finished very soon.
