Hi again Bobbie7! While Sarah's hat boxes are pretty, they're only do
round or oval. (I need 9"x12"x1" rectangle) I've put in an email to
Brimar, so I hope to hear back from them soon.

I called them and they don't do fabric covering or acetate cut-outs
any longer. Plan B?  :-D

Jude1,

That's discouraging :(

I'll try once more and if I don't locate anything I'll ask the editors
to remove my answer.

Jude1,

If Cactus Packaging can provide you with the exact box, the next step
would be to get the boxes covered in fabric from a sewing contractor.

For example:

Left In Stitches, Inc.

8:30 AM to 5:00 PM  Pacific Standard Time

Following up on my idea of ordering the cardboard boxes from one place
and then sending them out to be covered in fabric....

Here is a lady that provides custom sewing services for 10 dollars an hour.
