Magnolia-licious Highlights Challenge

It's "Anything But a Card" challenge this month at the Magnolia-licious Highlights blog. Today I'd like to show you a little sewing box I had fun making.  I'm not much of a sewer unfortunately but I often sew buttons on my my husband's shirts and mend tears in my little ones clothes. This box will be a cute way to store a few buttons, threads, and needles.


I used a template from My Time Made Easy for this sewing box.  Make It Crafty had the perfect chipboard embellishments for this project. I also used some lace trim and floral brads from Stampin Up.



Here is a view of my sewing box lid. I used this sweet Tailor Tilda  (link to mini image). My image is colored with copics and I've embellished with Wild Orchid Crafts flowers.



There's plenty of room inside the box for my needles, scissors, and a few spools of thread and extra buttons. So cute!  I hope you like my project today, I had fun making this.  Thanks for visiting today, see you soon!

Angela, this is so cute. The perfect Tilda image for the project. I am a sewer too--or used to be. I can't remember when was the last time I sew something besides on cards...LOL.
Hugs,

Gorgeous anything but a card project Angela. Love the beautiful design of the cover as well as the side of this sewing box. Fun that you even found sewing embellies for the side to match up with the theme too. So cute!!
