This is probaby one of my favourite challenges!
It doesnt mean you have to sew.... I didnt!
I altered this Benson and Hedges 'cigarette' tin into a little sewing container...
(it was in Nana-Great's treddle machine drawer with little buttons in it.
(time it had life breathed into it!)
so was painted in and out
Then padded and covered the insides with a lovely blue vintage print
Added some pins, cotton wound around tiny little bits of card.
Cut little pieces of fabric as swatches -including the blue which was off cuts from

Nana-Greats apron straps. Some old tatting lace.

Mandy, It's SOOOO wonderful! Love all in this work!
So love your sewing tin missy.
So very cute and out of the box...or in the box in this case...
I was just scrolling through some of our old posts and saw so many layouts/projects I hadn't noticed before. It seems when I get totally enamored by one of your projects, I forget everything else you posted that day. It was a lot of fun going back to see what I previously missed. You are an inspiration to me every time I click your blog link :) Thanks for that!
Oh, this is fabulous!!! What a great idea!! Love how you used those fabric scraps!
Mandy, You are always an inspiration to me... I have not come to visit your blog in awhile... I am opening my own scrapbook store and life is FULL. I am happy and wonder if Life could even get any better but my blogging has been pushed aside. Thank you for always inspiring. Love and hugs,Amy
