I am very excited to show you all my newest creations!  I am making hand-sewn band boxes with reproductions of early fabrics circa 1800-1870's.  Most of the boxes are from the civil war period but I will be making some in earlier era fabrics as well.  This first box is my absolute favorite.  George Washington to me is the greatest man this side of heaven!  He has been my earthly hero since I was a very small child.  The fabric I have used on this box is circa 1810 and is called "Washington's Legacy".  It is rich browns and blues with his picture hand sewn on the lid.  All of my boxes are lined with reproductions of old newspapers such as Harper's Weekly or earlier papers.  This is an oval box and is approximately 9 inches across the long oval top and is 6 inches tall.  I can also make these boxes round or square.  The George Washington box is $55.00 plus shipping and handling.
