Make a small card and fabric box, inspired either by your own house, or by the sort of house one of your favourite characters would live in.

Plan something simple and you should finish your house and garden on the day.
If you choose a more elaborate design you may need to finish this at home.

Your finished box will be perfect for storing small precious items such as jewellery, or maybe special sewing samples and threads etc.

Box size and shape can vary but should be no larger than approximately 18cms x 15cms x 13cms .

Tutor will supply heavy card for your box structure along with some fabric and trimmings. This cost is included in your course fee.

Students are advised to bring along their own fabric and trimmings for the box if these are particular to the design. These fabrics must be suitable for glueing and hand stitching.
