[Nfb-krafters-korner] Hey you are very quiet.

Sharon;
Did you make a cubic or a rectangular one?  When stitching it together,
use a double strand of yarn and stitch the sides to the lid.  Go down a
side and across the bottom.  Do not get upset if the edges do not come
out just even to each other.  I have this trouble all the time, even
though all the squares are alined.  I am guessing it is because canvis
is a bit thicker at the edge.  I can not find any other reason.
Let me know how it goes.  Be sure to stitch over your lose yarn on the
under side.  Where you take out the cleanex, you can start by bringing
your yarn through the under side of some of your stitches of the top.
Make sure you are on the underside for 4 to 6 stitches.

Hope these ideas help.

Terry

I'm making my organizer out of plastic canvas.  Another thing I just
started working on today is a tissue box cover that one of my friends at
day treatment had cut out but didn't know how to put together.  So I'm
covering it and building it up for her.  This is the first time I've
ever done a tissue box holder.
