My Sewing Box and Scissors Keeper
Designed by Kay Harmon
Finished box size: 7" x 7" x 4"
Finished scissors case size: 3" x 4½"
This is the second in my series of stitching accessories. I chose a rounded rectangular box but with a few modifications you can use this pattern to cover any size of paper mache box.
