Tomato Garden Sewing Box

Inspired by the luscious shades in my garden, the Tomato Garden Sewing Box features a comb painted box topped by a fraktur-style needle punch flower.  I’ve finished the edges of the needlework with twist of my favorite Coopworth lambswool and even tucked a bit under the needlework, too.  Perfectly sized to tuck inside are two sweet tomato pinkeeps – one has been cross stitched in a fine tomato red and the other is a plump fruit made of wool and stuffed with sawdust. 

The box measures 4” square x 2.75”h.  The cross stitched “Tomato” pinkeep measures 3.5”w x 1.5”h.  The plump tomato is 2”w x 1”h.

Included are a full color photo, pattern templates, and detailed instructions for making the needle punch, comb painted box, and both pinkeeps.  Basic needle punch skills necessary.
