Thread: Fabric Boxes? What sizes? Filling?

wow those octagon boxes are fantastic beautiful colors. never heard of fabric boxes before, I might have to look into these

Practice with paper and you will get the size you want.

I made a few for fall and Christmas last year. A 12" square will yield about a 4-5" box. They are the perfect size to hold cocktail napkins, or candy of course.
I got caught up in the QB Little Boxes trend...
Little Boxes for the Holidays

I made 11 of them last year for Christmas gifts...used warm and natural for the batting and heavy, iron-on interfacing on the lining. My son piles a lot of things in his and it's still standing perfectly straight. Started off with a 10" square which yielded somewhere around a 4 1/2" to 5" square box.

I haven't made the octagonal boxes but have made many fabric boxes as gifts last year. Used a 12" square to start out.

I always send my daughter Wisconsin cheese for Christmas. Last year I put them in fabric boxes made out of Christmas fabric. She is 28 and loved them (and the cheese). The cube shape of the cheese blocks kept the boxes nice and square during shipment and also provided a little insulation- she lives in Florida.
