We always joke that when we are very old and grey we will sit in our garden with wide brimmed hats and stitching on our knee and I decided this pattern fitted perfectly!
I made the box and trimmed the edges with white cord and used a swarovski crystal for a small catch on the front for ease of opening.
I lined the box with contrasting blue fabric, I did take a photo but it wasn't very clear.
My sister loved her gift.
I used a free pattern from the Red Brolly Blog, I am not sure if it is still available.
Until next time - happy stitching!

Your sister is one lucky gal- don't you just love to embroidery. I find it so relaxing.
What a sweet gift! The Swarovski Crystal is that extra touch that elevates the box to something really special.

How lovely Lynn, beautiful stitchery and idea and love your box. This has given me an idea for my sister's birthday coming up in July. Not sure that I could make a box like that though. Your work is so perfect. Shirley
