I began with a box that had been created for us in a club
situation. One of our members Pate
Steele’s husband created them for us. I bought a few of them. (Many mini and doll projects were calling.)
They looked like this:
I painted the box black and filled the interior with the Itsy Bitsy Mini wallpaper in fashion design. I could not locate my specific pattern, but there are many from which to choose and personalize your room box.
When that was complete, I decided to then paper the box,
though I had already painted it. So, I
began to choose from some shelf papers in a French Toile pattern.
After covering the lower portion of the box with the toile, I tried to think of something different for the top portion. The box sat for a little while. (I played with the interior a bit, to be honest.) I thought
and thought, and came upon the idea that this was a pattern box. It was a sewing room or shop after all. Placing a number of patterns in a basket, I took pictures from the top, bottom, right, left, back, and
then printed, and cropped until I got the right picture for the top edges of
the room box. That was fun, however; it took a
great deal more time than I thought.
A little braid trim to hide the seam line and it was time
for the fun stuff!!!
