These Sizzix Classic dies are favorite designs that you asked to be brought back from the vault! Eileen’s Teams have been hard at work creating with them and are sharing their project tutorials throughout the month. (If you missed the live Release Party, WATCH the replay HERE!)
Here is what Eileen has to say about her new collection:
You asked for it – we did it! The Classic Cantilever Sewing Box, Embroidery Hoop and Needle Book dies have been brought back because you asked. These dies all relate to stitching but of course may also be used in other ways. They are all Bigz dies which are so versatile because of the number of materials that may be cut with them.
I have fond memories of my Mom’s wooden sewing box and designed this Cantilever Sewing Box to replicate that. It’s great for storing sewing supplies like needles, thread, buttons, floss and pins- but it also works for hair bands and clips, small storage items, jewelry, desk organization and small treats. Use the drawers separately to organize your desk drawers or create a shadowbox – so many ways to use! Finished size is 3 1/2” x 6 1/4” x 2 1/4”.
The Embroidery Hoop measures 4” and is designed to be cut from thick material such as matboard or chipboard. You can actually tuck thin fabrics in the hoop and stitch on them. Or you can die cut from paper and use the hoop on card fronts. Use the pieces separately or all together.
The Needle Book is also a ScoreBoard die and features a pretty scalloped edge to the book. It measures 3 1/2” x 2 1/4″ x 1/2″ and is perfect for storing your stitching needles and pins – works great when made from felt! But it can also be made from matboard, chipboard, leather or fabric – one of the benefits of the Bigz dies.

Time for a closer look at the designers’ projects…
Designer Lisa Hoel is sharing her stitched project featuring the Embroidery Hoop Die. She embraced the sewing theme and created a little wall hanging featuring felt, fabric, vintage lace and embroidery. The Embroidery Hoop Die is a steel rule Bigz die so it can cut through thicker materials like mat board. Find more details in her blog post.
Pam Bray also made good use of the Embroidery Hoop Die and created this colorful card. I think this is a good idea for a Valentine’s Day themed project too! It’s such a great combination of die cuts and embellishments. Pay Pam’s blog a visit to see more.
Tonya Trantham has a bonus project to share with us! She created a mini fabric and paper book using the Needle Book Die. So cute! See more in her blog post.
