Hallowitch Sewing Box- Designing Ladies 2005
The name of this box “Hallowitch” is a combination of the two words, Halloween and Witch, and it is a very amusing word. My daughter Sofia designed this piece at age eleven.
The whole process started when she received the invitation from Judy Odell, our dearest friend in California, USA. I guess not many little girls or teenagers have received the honor to take part to an international Designing Ladies’ project.
The use of variegated silk threads, special ribbons and buttons, gives a lovely look to the box, and we are sure that you will enjoy while stitching it.
Chart pack includes designs charts and instructions for main box sections (top, lid band, wall band, bottom), scissors pocket, two doors needlebook, pin roll and ruler.
