Jeremy Fisher Box


Jeremy Fisher is my latest box. I embroidered the image of Jeremy Fisher on beige fabric. I used fabric from an old tweed jacket for the sides of the box and I trimmed it with a denim skirt hem, two kinds of lace trim, and an old belt.



If you want basic instructions for how to transform a tin canister into a custom fabric box like this one you can see the instructions I shared for my Yoda Box.


I will be sharing at:

  1. Love the embroidery Melissa! Jeremy Fisher is a Beatrix Potter character am I right? I think this is my favourite of your boxes so far. The way you've used the belt, the denim and tweed, I like everything about it. It's just so warm and whimsical!

  3. That is seriously perfect! I am a sucker for all things Beatrix Potter, in fact I decorated our first nursery with that theme. Really great use of materials, it all stands out and blends in together just right.
