Etui

Does anyone have instructions or a link to instructions for making an
etui? This is a "box within a box". Very old-fashioned and pretty.
I've looked out on the web, but have found only kits or completed
etuis for sale. I would like to make one from scratch.

It's not an etui but I'm sure the folk on this list could produce
something quite magical after watching the video on this page

This blackwork one is very beautiful, I have seen it made up.

The stitcher who did it, said surprisingly it was not that difficult
to work or put together. Certainly the best I have ever seen.

You could look on Tanya Berlin's website - she actually sells a box that you
then do yourself. But, the diagram on her site might help you even if you
don't want to buy it. Otherwise, well, google is your friend.....There are
several designers with etui projects.

Very nice. We have the Spectal Butterfly in the shop, but maybe I'll lobby
for this!

That may be the way to go - I may just purchase Tanya Berlin's kit. I
do love the blackwork. Then I could make others on my own. I am
looking forward to Christmas giving. I have seen some other
instructions, just wondered if there was something more detailed. I
suppose it isn't all that difficult once I see it made up for myself.

Thanks!
Deb :-)

Yes, I sure did, Ellice. The instructions are good, too. Thanks. I
saved it and enlarged the pix. Sorry I didn't comment. I'm glad you
found that. I really thought I had done a good search but missed
that. I still admit I love the BerlinEmbroidery Blackwork one. I
would like to have that one personally, just because it is so very
pretty. Also it would give me more of a feel on how one would use a
piece of stitchery to make the etui. I presume one just stitches a
design on linen or aida, then cuts to size and attaches as she is
doing for the red fabric in the instructions.
