{Velvety Delight}




This gorgeous, velvety creation was designed by Shirley Evers. The red colored-yarn looks so thick because I used double stitching instead of single stitching. The book said otherwise but if you look at the bottom, you can see how the box's design virtually would've looked. One would be able to see the through the yarn to the mesh which is a no-no for me! Although leaving the mesh bare can sometimes be tasteful, like the bottom for this box.I lined the insides with silver fabric to match the lines weaving diamonds on the red.The stuffing is just to keep the box's shape. The size of this box is approx. 7" by 5"by 3", just in case anyone's wondering :)
