It took 3 days, but I finished my first attempt at a hand sewn box. This is a MTG deckbox for my friend's birthday made with 3mm greyboard and cotton with a magnetic stud closure. The only places I've used glue are to make sure the closure stays put, and for the two pillows attached to the inside of the lid.
Techniques are from Jackie Woolsey's book Making Hand-Sewn Boxes - Techniques and Projects. Fabric was a lucky find at the charity shop, as was the book.
It's not perfect, in future I'd increase the allowance between the inner and outer boxes to allow for the sewing bulk, and probably get some more practice in with pulling in my corners when fully covering a lid.
