outside the box
I like crafting.
I like decorating.
Stands to reason that I would like crafting decor items.
But I don’t.
Not my style.
Until now.
haHA!
The prompt at TAIF this week is to use sewing patterns.
And in my search for sewing patterns,
I realized that my sewing supplies are extremely unorganized.
So I grabbed a craft box
and I grabbed my sewing patterns and spray mount…
and made this:
A box for thread and little bits.
I wanted the label to look cross stitched,
but didn’t feel like stitching…
so I just used a green sharpie
and made a bunch of Xs.
Anyway, I love how shear the sewing patterns are,
and how when I layer them, I get a cool graphic look.
It’s something I’m definitely going to use again.
Okay, so maybe it’s not decor.
Maybe it is.
But it’s awfully practical,
and I think it’s nice to look at.
So there ya have it!
Go play!
i LOVE this! it’s so graphty (that’s a word i just made up). it IS decor because you use it :)
Okay. This is ab-fab amazing!
AH! Love it.

plus they feel so silky to me.
maybe i am just weird. but i like a little luxury!

This is such a great idea, it made organizing your thread and sewing stuff such a piece of art:)
Great idea and I love the faux embroidery look.
