TASTER: Advent Pyramid Boxes with Gail Penberthy
FREE Tasters (Quilting) • Educational, G, 06-Nov-2020
These little triangle boxes are simple to make by hand. They just need you to trace, cut, stick and a little bit of hand sewing using blind hem stitch and ladder stitch.
Gail shows all the stages necessary to make these and has some great tips from how large the hanging hoop should be to using nail polish!
The little boxes are made using 4 triangles: one for the base and three for the sides. The fabric covering them is actually a circle. And Gail does show you how to sew both the blind hem stitch and the ladder stitch. So if you are new to sewing, don't worry - she has it covered.
Gail’s pattern and the wooden buttons, numbered 1-25, are available on the website.
