Upcycling vintage sewing box pt 1

Join me as I reupholster my vintage sewing box using vintage fabrics, patchwork, slow stitch and embroidery - sewing along with Rachel and Sarah from Roxy’s Journal of Stitchery.
I now have a Facebook group where we can share all things slow stitch. I’d love to see your projects too.

Thats a huge project. Good for you for feeling confident enough to accomplish it. That's way over my talent level. Can't wait to see it finished. It's going to be gorgeous!! Hugs ❤

[@DottyBeeVintage]

Thanks so much, I was worried about it at first, but then thought ‘why not?’ and just took the plunge 🌼🌼🌼

[@user-vc3ks5ii9r]

Beautiful fabrics❤

[@DottyBeeVintage]

Thank you 🌸

[@lisaemery6599]

Add some little purple flowers or French knots to your top piece so it all ties together. Cute project.

[@DottyBeeVintage]

That’s a great idea - thanks so much 🌸🌸🌸

[@5kristy71]

Sally, if you still like the flowers basket, you could stitch the purple bit in the basket in blue to match.
The embroidery for the top matches very well, great choice….. I was talking to the screen saying yes yes choose that one. Hahahah. 😂

[@DottyBeeVintage]

Hi Kristy, that’s a good idea, I’d not thought to add stitches. Thanks so much 🌸

[@5kristy71]

@@DottyBeeVintage your welcome.

[@patriciapage7197]

Ohhh … look forwards to see what it looks like in the next video . I made a start with mine on Wednesday evening. I’m going with Sarah’s idea but it’s a 4+4 box . One panel done 5 more to go lol xxx

[@DottyBeeVintage]

Thanks so much Pat, I look forward to seeing what you do, I’m sure it’ll be super 🌸🌸🌸

[@ellymd188]

I’m very interested in seeing how you progress with this sewing box as I have a similar one which I’ve had for ages waiting to be refurbished. The insides at least. Love your choices for the top and inside. Thanks for sharing, Sally ❤

[@5kristy71]

So do I

[@DottyBeeVintage]

Thanks so much Elly 🌼🌼🌼

[@lisaemery6599]

You could pad the top like a slight dome too. Would be cool!

[@DottyBeeVintage]

Thanks so much Lisa, I shall have a look at it 🌸🌸🌸

[@giusicoluccia6594]

Wonderful project! The embroidered piece is perfect! Love the vintage look of it all. Thanks for always inspiring, Sally ❤

[@DottyBeeVintage]

Thanks so much Giusi, it means a lot 🌸🌸🌸

[@bettydohms2002]

Totally agree with the choice of embroidery for the top!

[@DottyBeeVintage]

Thanks so much Betty, that one just fits perfectly 🌼🌼🌼

[@cathiespalding2083]

This is a wonderful idea for this prompt… love the top you picked out!

[@DottyBeeVintage]

Thanks so much Cathie 🌼🌼🌼

[@lisamoseley9914]

Just a suggestion, but you could interface the vintage apron fabric you showed us first. That would make it stronger.

[@DottyBeeVintage]

Oh that’s a good idea 🌸
