It’s time for our January wrap up post! These Sizzix Classic dies are favorite designs that you asked to be brought back from the vault. Eileen’s Teams have been hard at work creating with them and are sharing their project tutorials throughout the month. (If you missed the live Release Party, WATCH the replay HERE!)
Here is what Eileen has to say about her new collection:
You asked for it – we did it! The Classic Cantilever Sewing Box, Embroidery Hoop and Needle Book dies have been brought back because you asked. These dies all relate to stitching but of course may also be used in other ways. They are all Bigz dies which are so versatile because of the number of materials that may be cut with them.
I have fond memories of my Mom’s wooden sewing box and designed this Cantilever Sewing Box to replicate that. It’s great for storing sewing supplies like needles, thread, buttons, floss and pins- but it also works for hair bands and clips, small storage items, jewelry, desk organization and small treats. Use the drawers separately to organize your desk drawers or create a shadowbox – so many ways to use! Finished size is 3 1/2” x 6 1/4” x 2 1/4”.
The Embroidery Hoop measures 4” and is designed to be cut from thick material such as matboard or chipboard. You can actually tuck thin fabrics in the hoop and stitch on them. Or you can die cut from paper and use the hoop on card fronts. Use the pieces separately or all together.
The Needle Book is also a ScoreBoard die and features a pretty scalloped edge to the book. It measures 3 1/2” x 2 1/4″ x 1/2″ and is perfect for storing your stitching needles and pins – works great when made from felt! But it can also be made from matboard, chipboard, leather or fabric – one of the benefits of the Bigz dies.
Let’s take a look a some extra projects for our January wrap up!
Designer Lisa Hoel has a tutorial for you on how to assemble the Cantilever Sewing Box Die. Think of all the fun goodies you can fit into one of these cute boxes! You can decorate them according to any theme you’d like and it would make a great gift. Find the tutorial on Lisa’s blog.
Madeline Arendt had a brainstorm and came up with a clever project using the Embroidery Hoop Die. She used cuts from the die to make frames for dream catchers! What a great idea; I love it! She made several different ones so be sure to visit her post to check them all out.
