I found a tutorial on making a chest online at ehow.com and took a look at the photo and made just a front with my cardstock. I had to set my sewing machine somewhere and thought this was perfect. I made a 'fabric' cloth for the top of the chest by cutting the shape and embossing. The chest was distressed for an old look. My sentiment was hand cut.
Recipe:
Stamps-I'm in Stitches
Memento Tuxedo Black, Stampabilities white
Paper: MFP Old World Gold, Bo Bunny Press-Velvet Floral dp, The Paper Studio brads for the chest
I have collected a few scissors over the years and my sis made me a beautiful box that had some gorgeous gold metallic stitching on the scissors at the top of the box. That was for keeping my scissors inside. It was on my blog quite a while back. So, this set is really a lovely one for me.

Oh i love both your cards..i like those drawers in the first card they look so real and the tape measure in the second one is Awesome!!!beautiful cards!!!
Both of these are awesome. Love the dresser you made.
You never disappoint, Brenda! I love your little sewing "cabinet" and the second card is terrific too! You are one talented lady!
I love your sewing cabinet, Brenda! It looks perfect, down to the little piece of fabric peeking out from under the sewing machine. Very creative!!!
Love that chest!!! The sewing machine looks like the one my great-grandma had. Such a wonderful look to that card. The other is cute too. Don't you collect old sissors? I may be remembering that wrong...when you get to be in your 90s like we are things don't stay too well in there - LOL! Yesterday I was late to a meeting in the morning and I left my car running until lunch time (I have one of those keyless start cars). You know, it hardly used any gas over those 4.5 hours, but I think I need to slow down some! Don't tell Pamzi - I will never hear the end of it!!!! Love your creations - Well done! Hugz!!!!
hun, you are so awesome!
i am so struck by the gorgeous style of your cards! wonderful!

Sew nice. Especially like the chest idea. Wish I knew how to sew. My mother was a wonderful seamstress. I took Home Ec sewing in high school.
Had jury duty summons today. 25 people were selected. I was left in remaining 28 group and after waiting for some time we were told we were not needed & could leave.

The chest for the sewing machine is very creative! I wonder how it was done! Both cards are A+
Love the totally different looks on both these cards. But, that chest of drawers is a fab idea!!

Wow, great cards! I love the chest you made for your sewing machine and the beautiful collage of sewing items on your second card!
