Johansen's Fast, Fun & Easy Fabric Bowls introduced readers to creating bowls made of two layers of fabric fused around stiff interfacing and shaped on the sewing machine. Now she uses the same technique to create eight different box designs. Using beautiful theme or hand-dyed fabrics, the sewer will find the sky's the limit in creating one-of-a-kind home decor and gift boxes. For large public library sewing collections.
