Fabric Box Tutorial and My Results
 

I found this adorable tutorial for boxes made of fabric, and thought they would be perfect for my dear sister-in-law's birthday.

http://seaside-stitches.blogspot.com...-tutorial.html

I made a 12" and a 14". The 14" is a much nicer size, and there was less wrestling with the fabric. I don't think I would ever do one smaller than 12" unless I used a lower loft batting. They only took about an hour each to make, so it's a great quick project. Hers definitely look "crisper" than mine, but I'm pretty happy with the result.

That's clever! Will check this out myself! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much for the link...those will be a great addition to any quilt room or even for a gift box filled with quilty things

Thank you for sharing :) will try !!!

Very cute baskets will check it out as well. Thanks for sharing.

What a cool idea. I am making some raffle pieces for some fun at work and these little boxes would be perfect in Halloween material, filled with candy. Thanks for the link. This is sort of meant to be, just when I was looking for something different!:D

Those are sure cute! Thanks for sharing the pattern, can't wait to make a few!

Now on the 14" what size did you do in the corners? It seem that she did 2" in the 10" and 2 1/2" in the 12" so I'm wondering if for every even inches you would either add or subtract a 1/2 inch?

Very nice - thanks for sharing.

clever is a good word! thank you! im looking for christmas gifts for the church gals. this might fit the bill! :)

Great job french-fry! I can see you are sewing up a storm these days. Are you having fun at it? Never thought of making a fabric box before what a good idea! Thanks for the post.

Thank you for the link. Very cute boxes. I can see making some for my quilting friends for Christmas. Nice to fill with little treats. The pattern looks very easy to.
yours turned out cute.

Cute, these may be christmas presents this year. Thanks!!!!

Very nicely done. They can be used for lots of things.

They came out adorable. I love that you can nest them also. Thanks for the link!

great tutorial.....gonna make some of these....might try using double sided pre quilted fabric...got some I need to use...these would make nice little gifts or put on a table with mints or nuts for the Holidays....all kinds of possibilities....

Love them and I do think she used a flatter batting, judging from the pics. Gotta try one!!

Nice work on the boxes! I actually ran into this site a few weeks ago and have this project bookmarked. Love the different sizes to keep 'stuff' organized and neat...great for gifts too.

thanks for the link.

Thanks for the link. I need a baby gift and this would be cute to make and fill with baby things. I think I would make the 14" one. Did you stitch the corners at 2.5" for the 14" or bigger than that?

What are the dimensions of the 14" when it is finished?

Thanks again!

Great project, they will make nice gifts.

those are wonderful and thanks so much for the link... i'll have to do some

Wow! Very clever and sew cute!

Looks so easy to do I think, thanks!

Yes, very cute! Thanks for sharing this with us.

Great idea. Thanks for the link.

That is so cute...

For the 14", I did the corners at 3". They came out great at that length.

Finished dimensions of the 14" are about 5x5x5.

I love hearing all your ideas. I think I may end up doing some for Christmas too. I really am having fun sewing, Brat!

These boxes are just as cute as can be!! Thank you for this great idea!!

Thanks so much! I can't wait to get started and all these ideas make me want to make several of them.

Just love this project I can see lots of my stash being used up here , Thank you Cathy

Great idea...tried it and this is the result using 14". Think I will share with q[ATTACH=CONFIG]439090[/ATTACH]uilty friends as a holiday gift idea.

I made five of them today and will post pictures on Sunday 6th. They turned out real cute. I used scraps of warm & Natural batting and made a 9", 2 @11", and 2@ 12". Another addiction I don't want to cure!

Thanks again for posting the link.
peace

Very nice Chasezzz! It turned out great!

If you start with 16 inch squares and do 2.5 inch corners they come out to be the perfect size to store charms in. I'm thinking of making some in different colors that will match the colors of charms stored inside them.

very cute idea thank you for sharing.....

These fabric boxes are so cute. Thanks for tutorial. What a clever idea.

Can you post a picture of one? Did it turn out wider on the bottom then the top doing the 2 1/2"?

thank you so much for tutorial! Love them!

Very cute. Love it.
