[QUOTE="Poisonivy, post: 290613, member: 2417"]Hi all, I was sorting through my bags of stuff having a tidy out and hoping for a project. I came across this box that I bought a long time ago, It had deteriorated and I stripped it then forgot about it. I decided to re-cover it, All the materials I used are Victorian as always. The quilting came out of a Victorian sewing box or basket (I forget). It was one piece, I had to cut that to size. The red fabric which matches really well is part of a Victorian cape. I made the strip for holding the sewing tools. I re-mounted the original beadwork onto the velvet. The paper I used on the bottom came out of a bible from the 1700's. Hope you all enjoy seeing it :)[ATTACH=full]94038[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]94039[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]94040[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]94041[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]94042[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]94043[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
