In reply to tatiana papadakou. The finished sewing machine is 33 x 26 x 11 cm. I didn't measure the entire box before I started but you can see from the photos how the finished size relates to the original box size. Hope that helps!

I LOVE IT!! This is so amazing. My daughter (nearly 2) loves watching me sew and she is always trying to touch or “help” in some way. This would be so great to give her. Will plan to make one this coming weekend!!

Thank you!!!

I love it, I love it. Making things from cardboard boxes is my favourite hobby, apart from sewing, and corrugated card is wonderful to use. I usually don’t leave the edges raw – I paste them over with matching brown paper (even if I have to peel it from the box off cuts) and that makes lovely firm pieces. I am so pleased to see that I am not alone.

Wow. You give your little guy a great big hug from all of us for wanting you to make him his very own sewing machine. It’s fantastic and your step-by-step makes this look quite do-able.

When we were 5 or 6 my sister told my mom she wanted HER very own sewing machine and it had to be one “with an engine” so I fully understand the desire.

This would be a great centerpiece at a sewing association event and so, I’ve saved your instructions. Can’t wait to give it a whirl. You could decorate the front of the machine to match your own (real) machine. Set other hand made sewing “goodies” (i.e. thread catcher, pin cushion, etc.) around it and it would be the talk of the event.

To think you did all of this for $0. Well……might have to add in the cost of your architectural degree as an additional cost. But….the cost to us is $0 and I thank you and your little guy SO MUCH for this fantastic project. He is SOOOO cute sitting there at his machine. We’ll all be looking at cardboard in a totally different way from now on.

How lucky your little boy is to have such a clever and creative Mum. I love the last picture of your little boy concentrating intensely on what he is sewing on the machine… So cute!

Once upon a time I made an entire desktop computer out of cardboard. I even gave the keys on the keyboard “action” by putting a piece of cotton under each one.

This is fabulous! What a lucky kid.

This is truly fantastic! What a creative project, and right up my alley. I enjoy finding ideas that are unique and different (and with Pinterest it’s getting harder and harder to do) but this one just might be one of the best I’ve seen in a long time 🙂
Thanks for linking up last week to the Lovely Ladies link party, I’ve included your sewing machine in my features this week, you can check it out here if you’d like- http://www.justalittlecreativity.com/2014/05/lovely-ladies-linky-party-34-five-blogs.html
I’ve also pinned, it’s too cute to not be shared!
