When you have finished making your very own Fabric Storage Boxes they will measure approximately:-
- Large box = 5″ (12.5 cm) by 5” (12.5 cm).
- Medium box = 4″ (10 cm) by 4” (10 cm).
- Small box = 3″ (7.5 cm) by 3” (7.5 cm).
What’s needed to make these Fabric Storage Boxes:-
- 0.5 yard (50 cm) of non directional cotton exterior fabric is enough for all 3 boxes.
- 0.5 yard (50 cm) of non directional cotton lining exterior fabric is enough for all 3 boxes.
- A piece 18″ (45 cm) by 22” (55 cm) of heavy-weight, fusible interfacing such as Fast 2 Fuse Heavy, Pellon 72F Peltex 2 Sided Fusible or Pellon 71F Peltex if you prefer one sided fusible, however, then you won’t be able to fuse the lining for that crisp look.
- 0.5 yard (50 cm) of lightweight fusible interfacing such as Vilene G700 woven fusible, Pellon SF101 Shape-Flex or similar.
- Six buttons 3/4” (1.9 cm) in diameter or bigger, they need to be this big to close the gap between the folds, to not let the elastic show. Two buttons are used for each box.
- 24” (60 cm) round elastic, slimmer is better, or cut up thin round elastic hair bands to get colors to match your fabric. 8” (20 cm) is used for each box.
- A rotary cutter, cutting mat & ruler.
- Fabric glue.
- Basic sewing supplies,
- A sewing machine.
