How to Create a Stitching Case - Sweetwater Stitcher

[@WolfTree3]

Cute case, great creative idea that I will use for an old round jewelry case I’m not using. You made me nervous working with glue over your project. You did very good, but it was like watching a suspense movie knowing someone was going to fall off a cliff. 😂😂

[@nicolemitchell446]

I found a jewellery box at Kmart in australia on clearance for $10. I can’t wait to try this! I’ve always been searching for the perfect sewing box but it’s always been too big and ends up full of clutter or not enough structure and sections of the right size to keep things organised. This is such a great idea and something I had never seen before. I wish I knew someone else who sewed so I could make a few for Christmas presents. Hardly anyone sews these days. I should try to teach my 17 year old daughter before she leaves for uni in February. I won’t be there to fix her things like I do at the moment. I should teach her how to wash her clothes too come to think of it 🤦‍♀️

So creative Jessica! Thanks for sharing your process and resources!

[@thriftyArtiststitching]

Love this. I’ve made one large one and 6 minis. And now I need more! ☺️☺️☺️

[@kathleenh-u7m]

Thank you Jessica. Watched this when my other half was watching football. I like to stay in the same room so this entertained me. Glad I did. It was way toooooo dang cute. I am going to make one also.

[@terribradburn6685]

Fun to watch! The struggle is real! Lol! My idea would’ve been to use the little stocking as you scissor fob! Very cute!

[@terrinorwood5433]

I bought a couple of cases several months ago, and now I am inspired to jump in and make a Christmas one. Love your videos!

[@sandyrackow21]

Thank you so much for the stitchy box video,it is so helpful.Love all your ideas.Really appreciate your sharing with us🥰

[@carolfawcett1297]

This was a great tutorial! I appreciate how willing you are to share your knowledge and experience with everyone! You are so generous in showing how to do these cases, and where you found such cute things! I have a case that I need to find things to make one of these. I also have a small square case that is a good size for just travel essentials! Thank you so much for this great video!

[@miramsey1]

This is wonderful!! Thank you so much! My head is swirling with ideas. You are so kind to share this with all of us! ❤

[@susanfromcolorado623]

Jessica thanks for your tutorial on making the stitchy box! So helpful and I really like your idea for covering the top!!! Can’t wait to give this a try ◡̈

[@cindyrichards6019]

I love this! I have made one using the black box, but I just ordered 3 different colors to make others. I'm so excited to do this. Thank you for sharing!

[@SarahsStitchySpot]

Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial, Jessica! ❤

[@marybd123]

Thank you for sharing this. I have 4 of these cases, trim, trinkets, fabric, etc. I needed this video to get me started.

[@tracyheming2603]

Excellent tutorial, Jessica! Thank you for sharing and providing inspiration on making these adorable cases. ♥️

[@ElleSnapsAndStitch]

Loved watching you make your case! Thanks for sharing!! ❤

[@Deborahflosstube]

I love all your ideas and I've ordered 4 boxes and items to fill it while watching your video. I'll be making some Christmas gifts for the girls in my family! Thank you.

[@nicolepatterson9043]

Great video! Thank you so much for sharing your process. I went right out to Hobby Lobby and purchased some supplies and ordered two cases! They are all beautiful and I love your style!

[@Lobirdie58]

Thank you for this video. I purchased one of those jewelry boxes months ago. Going to get up the nerve to try to convert it.

[@bonniehale5556]

Thank you for this tutorial! I can’t wait to make one for my sister and myself. Your sewing boxes are beautiful.

[@ginacates6110]

Thank you for the tutorial! You are great at explaining & have an excellent eye for detail! I love the one you made! 😊

[@j.a.devanney7523]

Great ideas and demystifying the destruction and reconstruction of a cute useful notions box.thx🪡🪡🍁

[@natureluvr_d7186]

Wonderful tutorial. I have watched yours, the ones by Cherry Heart and Colorado Stitcher. Between the 3 I feel confident enough to make one. I think a stitched piece on top would be great.

[@VictorianStudio]

Sheri at Colorado Cross Stitcher shared how to make these months ago - very cute!

[@deeakins-stitcher]

Thanks! Great tutorial. I bought several cases and you shared some great ideas!

[@rhondazamora8136]

I love these cases. You have created some really cute ones! Thanks for sharing your process.

[@hildachairez-perez2351]

Thank you for teaching how to make the cases. I am sure I will make me one! Love it, love it!!!

[@lizzythestitcher]

You are so clever!! I love all your boxes! ❤

[@karolrobles504]

Thanks for sharing how you create your stitchy cases. Looks like a fun project.

[@JoannaLynnstitches]

I'm sold ! Love this look on your Christmas case! Time to start doing one myself! Merry Christmas Jessica

[@crossstitcher2236]

Thank you so much for such a great video! Gave me the confidence to make my own!

[@user-uh3ml4tq7r]

I love these! So very pretty. I have definitely been inspired to make one! So fun!

[@rhondalafleur6357]

What a great tutorial Jessica. Thank you so much!

[@CatMom4704]

I see those types of jewelry boxes at thrift stores often. I think I’ll nab a few and make them for gifts next year. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@carolmcqueen3497]

I love this. Now I feel like I could do this. Thanks Jessica.

[@FlossBossinCousins]

Thank you for a wonderful tutorial!!! It’s gorgeous!!!

[@nancyevans7609]

This was so nice of you to share your process and give us inspiration to create our own cases. Thank you 😊

[@conniegivens5102]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I can't wait to get started!

[@kathycullenstern9652]

Very nice. I have that same case. I recently went to Prince Edward Island and toured the Anne of Green Gables and LM Montgomery sites. That will be the theme of my green case.

[@sharonpatnode454]

I can’t thank you enough this was wonderful

[@HeideD100]

Jessica, Thanks for the tutorial. Love you final finish. Now I have to run out to HL and get those cute, cute Santa's and ribbon. 🤣

[@jenniferbonynge5899]

Absolutely loved this tutorial, thanks!

[@cheryl9162]

Thank you Jessica ❤You’re always so helpful!!!

[@richardallen1391]

I have a regular stitching case and we made a fall/halloween stitching case at a retreat I attended, now I need to finish the inside of a Christmas case. Thanks for sharing. I love that Santa waxer. Janine

[@kckoehler1766]

Awesome video. So helpful. Thank you. 😊

[@Gutukas]

So good thank you so much 🎉 Greetings from Belgium.

[@Handmadebysarahw]

This was super fun to watch!❤

[@susanspratling]

Thank you for the tutorial Jessica!

[@lorriescott8775]

I’m taking a car load of friends to Canada in January. We are taking a sewing class, & shopping at quilt shops. I want to make these as gifts for them!

[@pamelaevans5290]

Fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.

[@AnjaVandenMeerssche]

Great job👍👍👍 thanks for sharing 😊

[@HouseMuseumStitcher]

Thank you so much for this tutorial!

[@maryellenclark9904]

Thank you for sharing. Great video.

[@sherriejohnson508]

These are beautiful thank you

[@cassandramccraw2386]

Oh Jessica! You may be the one who finally convinces me I need to learn how to use a glue gun! This was a very understandable video.

[@red_river_stitcher]

Thank you for this great tutorial!

[@officialmermaidscove1376]

Wonderful tutorial, thank you for sharing! ❤

[@wandabarth-lindblom3661]

Beautiful case

[@paulinedean4419]

Great video! I tried making one not too happy with it. I bought the case from Target and it is double layer. I ripped everything out that I could and started decorating. Had no idea what I was doing. Your video has given me a lot of ideas to possibly fix mine so I like it. I might even go on Amazon and buy one like yours and start over. Thank you for showing us how to decorate a case❤❤❤

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

The first one I ever did was from Target and it has no dividers. It’s fun to have them but also the blank bottom gives more room for larger things.

[@melissac8559]

I figured out how to pop the top piece (with the pocket) so i can get the clips off... I think I'm also going to use it as a template for the bottom. Thanks for all the great ideas!

[@darlenemartensen8303]

I love this idea. New subbie 😊

[@tamipugh3377]

I love your case especially the top being covered. I rip out those necklace holders. They come out easy, then you can put whatever you want in the lid. I wish I had taken out the center part. I may take mine apart and remove that part.

[@tinamcnamara5167]

Thanks for the step by step tutorial. I may have the nerve to try and make one now.

[@quiltralso2]

Im trying to decide if I really need a Stitching Case, guess I need to gather my supplies & try my hand at making on for me & my cousin!!

[@liannehanna7810]

You could hang color coordinated floss from the necklace holders in the lid and tuck the bottoms of the skeins into the pocket below.

[@Karen3263]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@julieschulz5798]

Love the Santa water and the items you put in the back. You said Mary Crow? What is that? Loved the tutorial great job!

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

I am going to go back and link her shop. I didn’t know she was on Etsy but found her.

[@lindakenison405]

Thanks for sharing. Could you show how you finished the top of the inside lid? Did you remove the hooks? Did you use press board for the lower fabric part and glue the ribbon next?

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

I did not remove the hooks just put the fabric covered board on top. Then I put the ribbon. My piece wasn’t exact at the corners and you could see gaping which was going to bother me, that is why I layered it. I feel like there has to be a better way to trace that part but I haven’t figured that out.

[@lindakenison405]

@ , thanks! Fat Quarter Shop now has a stripped down version that you can decorate. It’s pretty nice for $15, only in pink.

[@elizabethkist2891]

Great video! Wondering if you could share where you found the candy cane hair clips. Thanks.

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

I found them at Michaels

[@lisaschwartz1723]

Thank you so much for this video!!! I have so many ideas on what I want to do because of your video!! I was also afraid to try one but now I’m not because you made it seem so easy and fun!! Can you please tell me how you made the shepherds bush tiny scissor fob? I have the pattern but don’t know how to make it that tiny. I stitch on Aida. Thank you so very much and can you please show the other side again, I think it has your name in it? I love your videos Jess!!! You are so very talented!!! ❤

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

Nichol Sphor made the fob for me and she stitched on 46 count. I am pretty sure the smallest on Aida you could do would be equal to 40 count if you stitched on 20 count Aida. And yes she backstitched my name on the back. She shows how she made it on one of her videos.

[@CardinalLaneKreations]

Love your case it turned out fabulous, I love the Santa waxer where did you get ? Also love your watch band where did you get that it looks dressy thanks for your tutorial

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

The waxer is from Merry Crow, I am going to go back and link her shop. Also my watch band is from Kendra Scott, I love it so much.

[@charlotteburgess7828]

Make a photo copy of your box then reduce down the size till you get the fit that you want for the inside bottom of your box to get a closer fit.

[@dfrogers831]

I just looked on the website for those glue guns, there’s so many different models?! Which one did you get? Thank you for this awesome video!!! ❤😊

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

Mine is the cordless one

[@vickien4524]

You can trace the outside of the bottom and then trim it down to fit inside. Easy.

[@lindarbrown503]

I am thinking thrifted old cookie tin.

[@nicolemitchell446]

To make the inner template, trace around the bottom. Cut in half length wise, then width wise. Place the 4 pieces in each of the corners on the inside and stick back together. It will overlap along your cut edges to make it the correct size. Hope this helps someone 😉

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

Thank you for sharing! I am going to mention that in the next video and going to try next time.

[@maureenross579]

You never really states what is the goal/oruse for these cute boxes?

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

To store your items you use to stitch with and for decor while stitching.

I no longer follow or watch Content Providers that use Hibby Lobby materials

[@dorissanders1950]

Multiple ads every 2 minutes makes it hardto watch.

[@CatMom4704]

Sadly that is nothing she can control. I watch a lot of KZbin so I treated myself to ad free. Can’t recall what I pay but it’s soooo worth it. I hope it is something you can afford. My husband did it for me so I’m not sure what he did.

[@dorissanders1950]

@CatMom4704 ..oh I certainly understand. YT has increased ads for everything.
