    Hello Sarah,

    I so love this class. Thank you so much.

    Since the demise of fabric stores in the US I have found it very hard to locate a selection of fabrics for projects. Do you have any online (or other) suggestions?

    Florance Kochenberger replied to the topic Lesson 3 – Main Discussion in the forum Forum: Box Making: Parisian Patisserie 3 years ago

    Dear Sarah,

    Earlier you advised me that with the Feathered Chain, there is a small risk that my tacking stitches to mark the design line might be visible, especially with the high contrast of colors, but if they can’t be taken out, you have solutions for that after the Feathered Chain is completed. I am wondering what solutions you can offer, p…[Read more]

    Hi Beth,

     

    You are absolutely correct, it should be subtracting 1mm not adding. I swear I thought I’d tested the calculations, but apparently I was half asleep when I did.

     

    My apologies for confusion,

    Sarah

    This is absolutely beautiful! I’m so glad you shared this with us, and I’m thrilled you were able to transfer the skills you’ve learnt into something so special to you!

    I’m particularly impressed with the mitred corners on the inside of the lid and how you got the grain of the outer fabric so well lined up.

    I love the use of the…[Read more]

    Sarah,

    It looks to me as though the calculator for the lid ADDs a mm to the inner lid dimension.  Shouldn’t it be subtracting 1 mm?

    Hi Sarah,

    box exterior

    Thanks for your exceptional instructions!

    I originally signed up for this class because I wanted to make an acid-free decorative box to house a family heirloom bobbin lace collar. My first box was too small for the job so I made a second, larger one to the required measurements.

    The collar was from a silk gown worn in 1898 by my…[Read more]
