Poor Directions
I have just read the directions, and I am not a novice. But the directions are really poor. If you are going to go to the time and effort to do these "how-to's", why not do them well?

Not a great project for beginners
The boxes are cute when finished but the directions are exceptionally poor. I'm a skilled seamstress and still struggled to understand the words. As written, I did not realize, until too late, that for one box the outside is onevdabric, for the other it is the other and same for inside. This way I would have ended up with two coordinating boxes (as shown in the picture) rather than the two matchy matchy boxes that I ended up with. But that wasnt the only problem.A video would be more very helpful.
