A handmade hexagon-shaped box suitable for storing small needlework projects such as cross stitch embroidery and related haberdashery. Sometimes referred to as an etui, a French word meaning an ornamental rigid container for holding needles, scissors, thimbles, etc. The outside of the box is constructed from firm recycled board. Each piece is covered with a pink/green/white ‘Woodland Wander’ patterned cotton fabric. The lid has a lightly padded top. The inside of the box has padded liners constructed from thin card and wadding covered in a toning green cotton fabric. Three of these have added bands to hold items such as needle packs, button cards, embroidery cottons, etc. The inside base, inside of the lid and fabric webs between the six sections have been made from the toning green cotton fabric.
