Victorian box kit

Victorian box kitOur Victorian box design is a useful size and has a 5" square footprint when closed and stands 5" tall. Sometimes called an exploding box, not only do the four outer walls fall open once the lid is removed, the inner four walls also collapse.

Our Victorian box design is a useful size and has a 5¼" square footprint when closed and stands 5¾" tall. 

Sometimes called an exploding box, not only do the four outer walls fall open once the lid is removed, the inner four walls also collapse. We’ve given this box a really nice, soft to handle feel as we’ve included a lightweight batting for the outer panels.

Each kit includes the pattern for cutting your fabric to size, the polyester wadding and the die-cut cardboard shapes.  Full instructions will be emailed.

To complete each kit you will need:

Half a metre of your chosen outer fabric and a quarter of a metre of inner fabric; half a metre of ribbon/lace and narrow elastic for making and trimming the pockets. For ease we recommend 100% cotton fabric is used. If you are using a larger design which you wish to centralise or you are pattern matching please allow additional fabric.

You’ll also need PVA glue and a spreader both of which are available to order on this site.  

Matching thread, sewing needle and maybe a thimble. Whilst the use of a sewing machine is helpful, it’s not essential as only a minimal amount of very basic sewing is required.
