Lace Heart Box Sachet

A touch of delicate romance is a delight year round, not just for Valentine’s Day!  Consider other holidays such as Mother’s Day and birthdays or as a special token to say “I’m thinking of you."

Formats include: art, csd, exp, dst, hus, jef, pcm, pcs, pes, sew, shv, vip, vp3 and xxx

The top has a small inner heart, perfect for customizing with another small design or a monogram. The bottom is more plain to reduce sewing time and provide a place for an additional message.

To simplify lining the box, Lindee created 2 appliqués sized to fit into the lid and base, and embroidered them as free-standing appliqué (this technique is covered in the included instructions). Lining is optional.

This small ring or trinket box is designed so that it may be sewn in a 4" × 4” or 100 mm x 100 mm hoop. If you have a 5" × 7" (130 mm x 180 mm) hoop, you’ll find a longer side piece that can be used instead of piecing two smaller segments together for each side.

Make it into a sachet

Lindee prefers to make designs that offer a little more flexibility for personal creativity. This often requires extra planning.

She has designed this one so the box lid can double as a sachet. Simply sew two lids and lace them together. A pattern is included for the potpourri bag, which can be done either in the hoop or via the more traditional method.

You’ll find that if you rinse all the stabilizer out of this lace, it is incredibly soft. It would also work well as an applique on other projects.

If you want a more tailored looking sachet, embroider two bottom pieces and lace up in a similar manner.

She has also designed a small area on the lid for your customizing. You can add a small 1 or 2 letter monogram or small design here, like the white lid on the right (see the above photo. She has included one of the rosebuds from Delicate Roses for you to play with. After placing this design, she rotated it, using Embrilliance Essentials (both a Windows and Mac version of this program are available).
