The AMELIA Kit - Cardboard tutorial to download

The explanations, photos and diagrams allow you to create this creation independently. This paper/cardboard creation by LéNa is described with great precision, with numerous photos and many diagrams of all the stages of the object's manufacture.

This kit is very practical for taking sewing essentials when traveling, for example: 2 semi-cylindrical half-shells are combined by a film hinge. 2 magnets ensure closure. A handle allows for easy grip. A space with magnet is provided in the center, inside to store small sewing tools. 4 locations are also provided to accommodate small metal boxes which will also allow the storage and transport of objects necessary for sewing: thimble, spools of thread, buttons, etc.

The detail of the decorations will delight fans of Fine Cardboard Objects.

Most :

* A technique which makes it possible to obtain curved walls, for half-cylinders, without using thicknesses of cardboard that are impossible to handle for such a small diameter.

* The possibility of using even very thick papers because the design minimizes paper overlap as much as possible.

* The possibility of transforming this case intended for storing sewing accessories, into a pencil case, brushes, etc.

The 19 sheets can be printed on A4 sheet, in color. NB: PDF in french.

LEVEL: **** (on a scale of 4)

"A long and distant trip was planned..... I haven't made a cylindrical object that often.... And I always take a small sewing kit, just in case.... All the ingredients came together to create this charming travel sewing kit. And what a pleasure, when I filled it, found a place for it in my suitcase and above all, when I took it out, over there at the end of the world.... Her first journey was over the Atlantic Ocean. I therefore called it the Amélia Kit, the first name of an exceptional woman, Amélia Earhart, the first woman to have crossed the Atlantic Ocean in plane.

.... I have no doubt that Amélia then brought a travel sewing kit...
... Happy creating...”
