Dr. Who Tardis: Progress Shots

My son's best friend wanted a tardis for his birthday.  He didn't give me much to go on, so I took off with the project!  I do not have a pattern to share, I made it up on the spot.  However, it is mostly geometrical with details so it shouldn't be too hard to figure out.  Here is my process:

Here are the pieces.  The accent pieces on the tardis are black strait stitches sewn on.  I added the windows and the window details along with the top black strip.  I debated hand stitching "Police Public Call Box" along it, but thought that I would need more planning than I had time for.

The other pieces of the tardis: the bottom, top pieces and the velcro strip to close it.

Sew the pieces together and turn them right side out.  Don't forget to sew the velcro strip on - and check that it is facing the correct piece and will correspond with the other side of the velcro.

Put the insides in.  I used plastic canvas but I feel that it wasn't stiff enough and would choose something else next time.  Hand sew closed.

Here are the top pieces.  The little piece was a plus sigh shape that I sewed windows onto and stitched up the sides.  The middle piece is a square with one inch sides.

Pin the middle piece to the top piece.  hand stitch in place leaving a small opening. 

Stuff slightly and stitch closed.

Stitch top piece on and stuff.

hand sew the four sides together

Here it is stitched together.  Make sure not to stitch the door closed.

Stitch on top and bottom - don't stitch the door.  Make sure it can still swing.

Finished product

The birthday boy with his new Tardis!  It was definitely bigger than I first thought it would be! (as most of my projects are)
