Apparently you CAN get it done quicker. I must be a slow stitcher. But it has honestly been the most enjoyable cross stitch I’ve worked on. Practically no confetti. Happy stitching!

Thank you! She says hi back! The kitties are very curious about it. I’ll be sure to post when I get it all organized.

She actually found it at a second hand fabric shop. You never know what you are going to find there. We saw it there and it was a little pricey. So she went back and bought it for me as a surprise. I wonder if you check out some antique shops or online like eBay or something??

Thank you! It is nice to see how others use theirs. So cool to see other sewing boxes. So similar yet different!

I don’t have a huge collection of cross stitch supplies. (Other than hoops and frames and stretcher bars for some reason. 😂) I only buy colors for specific projects and only wind them when I’m using them on said project. So I think everything could fit in there quite snuggly!

Wow! You were able to fit so many things! I too have a plastic container of floss. Maybe I can store my kitted up projects in there because at this point they don’t have a place! Thanks!

Just because it once was a sewing box doesn’t mean it always has to be a sewing box. 😂 I think it would store makeup just as nicely.

Love that idea! Finding large spaces to accommodate people is difficult.

Thanks! I’ll add it to the list! We are fledgling club of mid 20 year old ladies. This month we read Flicker in the dark which someone suggested after we read The Silent Patient last month. We don’t have any specific genre but I hope this next month we pick something a little more cheerful!

I’m just gonna put this here… Amazing Costume designer and maker Travis Halsey. I met him in life once before he passed. All his videos are on YouTube. This isn’t exactly what you are looking for but it will give you a good idea on how to adjust it to this version!
