Recipe boxes Pattern - from Aunties Two

Time to gather all those well-loved family recipes and give them a beautiful handmade home.
The Recipe Boxes Pattern by Aunties Two is a practical, thoughtful sewing pattern designed to create sturdy, fabric-covered recipe boxes that are as functional as they are gift-worthy.
Perfect for preserving handwritten recipes, organising modern recipe cards, or creating a meaningful heirloom gift, this pattern includes instructions for four different box sizes, all with a 4" depth to hold generous stacks of cards.
Whether you're sewing for yourself, a wedding shower, housewarming, or special family gift, these boxes are endlessly useful and always appreciated.
Designed to be used with Bosal's CrafTex Plus (Item #337F) - a double-sided fusible stiff interfacing - the finished boxes are strong, structured, and durable, while still allowing your fabric choices to shine.
Choose vintage prints, florals, modern neutrals, or novelty food fabrics to perfectly match the recipient's style.
Clear, well-written instructions guide you through construction, making this a satisfying project for confident beginners and experienced makers alike.
