These boxes feature a new lovely Matryoshka design from the PUSH PIN* × KOKKA, a fabric created as a collaboration with the original general merchandise manufacturer, PUSH PIN*. Taking the idea from large to small nested Matryoshka dolls, these nesting boxes are perfect for organizing small things.

We interviewed Kanae about her creation:
Kokka Fabric (KF): What did you think of the fabric you used for this project?
It has such beautiful bright colors that I wanted to make something exciting that would cheer you up.
KF: Can you tell us any special elements or ideas that you incorporated into this creation?
Matryoshka is a doll that is nested inside another doll, and I took this “nesting” idea to create these boxes with a Matryoshka design fabric.
KF: What are some tips for making these boxes?
You can use a sewing machine to apply piping, but I chose to do it by hand, as it prevents mistakes and you can finish it cleanly. It is fun to hand stitch while listening to a music or enjoying a chat.
KF: How should we use these boxes in everyday situations?
When not in use, you can keep them compact.
It also looks cute simply displaying it like this.
KF: Thank you very much, Kanae! Here are sewing instructions along with step by step photos from her. Enjoy crafting!
