I'm of the bad dream category...a step better than nightmare. Underneath it all there is organization, but the day to day stuff just gets outta control...some days too many irons in the fire!
Between some necessary bookwork for our business I have been working on finding homes for the myraid boxes of triangles. I have several of those Sterlite plastic drawers...I emptied out four of them in this sorting process. I've used plastic containers as sorters in these, but they take up more space than I gain. The most useful ones are too tall for the drawer. I decided to make a fabric box to size. Taking a cue from Nancy Zieman's recycling show. I decided to make one similar to this technique using fabric and lining and some stiff interfacing...don't know for sure what it was. I sewed RST and turned the pieces rather than pinking the edge. Then sewed the edges lining sides together on all four corners. The box fits perfectly and have used 1/2 yard of stash fabric. Ready to make more and experimenting with interfacing to see what works best. The size I made I can get two fronts from a half yard of fabric and of course the same with lining fabric.
My finished box is 5 x 5 x 10 inches. I cut:
1 piece each fabric and lining 15 1/2" x 10 1/2"
1 piece each fabric and lining 5 1/2" by 20 1/2"
1 15 x 10 stiff interfacing..I think it's Peltex
1 5 x 20 stiff interfacing.
The next one I'm going to use Decor bond on both fabric and interfacing.

See where the gaps are in the box...I put lining sides together and top stitched the edges together to close the box.
