Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: Superbly illustrated book with clear and concise instructions - I bought this book after I borrowed a copy from a friend. The instructions in the book are clear and concise and the photographs are simply beautiful. There are a good range of box patterns in the book too. Highly recommended if you plan to make a range of both rigid and collapsible "etui" boxes. Review: Great range of projects with clear instructions and pretty pictures - I knew exactly what I was getting as to the contents of the book because I have a copy on long-term loan from a friend. However, I plan to make boxes as one of my hobbies and need my own copy. This book combines interesting projects with clear instructions and very attractive photos of the finished items, so it really works for me (oh, the temptation to put in 'ticks all the boxes'!) I have made a version of the hexagonal box in the top right of the picture (which has drop-down sides for use as a sewing box) and I plan to make another from this book, which I expect to be even better. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 590,136 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 920 in Embroidery 67,019 in Arts & Photography (Books) | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (92) | | Dimensions | 20.96 x 1.91 x 27.94 cm | | ISBN-10 | 0715303317 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0715303313 | | Item weight | 210 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 128 pages | | Publication date | 30 Sept. 1996 | | Publisher | David & Charles | ## Images ![Hand-Stitched Boxes: Plastic Canvas, Cross Stitch, Embroidery and Patchwork - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71kWCCt2xrL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superbly illustrated book with clear and concise instructions *by F***1 on 24 September 2023* I bought this book after I borrowed a copy from a friend.

I've made four of the designs and adapted one to my own dimensions, however, some of the measurements quoted seem a bit out when inches are converted to millimeters so its best to check. the craft vilene mentioned is sometimes sold as pelmet vilene. only marked the rating down due to having to check all the measurements! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/66477347-hand-stitched-boxes-plastic-canvas-cross-stitch-embroidery-and-patchwork](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/66477347-hand-stitched-boxes-plastic-canvas-cross-stitch-embroidery-and-patchwork) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
