I just love how it came out. I skipped the bee applique on the largest component and invented a scissor sheath for it. That really makes it a proper etui with scissors, ruler, needlekeep, and pin cushion. Oh my it is really sweet. It&#8217;s a great design. I love how all the pieces fit in the box so nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"6949\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/img_2025-01-06-161117-1.jpg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6949\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/img_2025-01-06-161117-1.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/img_2025-01-06-161117-1.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/img_2025-01-06-161117-1.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"6948\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/img_2025-01-06-161842-1.jpg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6948\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/img_2025-01-06-161842-1.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/img_2025-01-06-161842-1.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/img_2025-01-06-161842-1.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I have a great pile of additional finishing on my ironing board (horizontal craft surface).
