Grab and Go with These Handy Fabric Boxes
Three Sizes Nest When Not In Use!
These handy and attractive fabric boxes can be made in two shapes. They’re great for storage, travel and taking supplies to class and retreats. They also make wonderful gifts for just about any occasion.
Both the square and round boxes can be made in three sizes each. They conveniently nest together when not in use. Handles on the lids make them easy to grab and go whenever you’re heading out.
Choose whatever colors and styles of fabric you prefer. They’ll be wonderful given any personality.
Structure is provided by foam interfacing, such as ByAnnie’s Soft and Stable. A 20″ wide medium weight fusible interfacing is also used (the designer suggests Pellon SF-101 Shape Flex fusible woven interfacing).
Customize whichever size and shape works best for your needs. For example, this clever version from Pigs in Pajamas was created for use as a binding kit. The body of the box is for clips, while felt was added to the inside of the lid for pins and needles. A sleeve holds a pair of scissors. Learn more here.
Whatever you’ll use yours for, the boxes are wonderful in many different fabric choices. You can even build the body with patchwork.
