I saw this on Oregon Public Broadcasting...Very simple to make! People wrote me and asked for a tutorial....in one hour I had it made -- Iincluding taking the pictures!!!
The original video said to use grosgrain ribbon. I only had regular ribbons on hand. I'm going to use fray-check on the ends to keep them from unraveling. You can make any size box you want....and adjust the sides to what size suits you. I refolded my fat-quarters to make them fit nicely. Enjoy! Sew 1/4" around the sides leaving an opening for turning [ATTACH=CONFIG]102428[/ATTACH] Original video said to mark 2" in on all sides [ATTACH=CONFIG]102429[/ATTACH] Turn and press, topstitch 1/4" from edge [ATTACH=CONFIG]102430[/ATTACH] Cut 1/4" ribbons. Add 6" to each end of the box (if box is 8", cut ribbon 20") [ATTACH=CONFIG]102623[/ATTACH] The original box -- with fat quarters [ATTACH=CONFIG]103331[/ATTACH] Cut 2 pieces of fabric...any size you want -- this is 8" x 7" - original one was larger [ATTACH=CONFIG]103332[/ATTACH] Cut Iron-On fleece the same size [ATTACH=CONFIG]103333[/ATTACH] Pin the corners and double check what you have --- Because my box was small, I reduced the 2" to 1 1/2" [ATTACH=CONFIG]103355[/ATTACH] This is what the inside will look like [ATTACH=CONFIG]103522[/ATTACH] Pull up the corners and tie ribbons in a bow. [ATTACH=CONFIG]103523[/ATTACH] Lay the ribbon on the line you drew and stitch with decorative stitch. Sew from the topstitch line to the topstich line! I glued my ribbon down so it wouldn't slip on me. [ATTACH=CONFIG]103527[/ATTACH] Repeat for the other two ribbons [ATTACH=CONFIG]103596[/ATTACH] |
I have made these before and you did a great job on this. I have placed cardboard in the center to make the bottom firm too. I do this when I am using them in a drawer as a divider. Thanks!!!!

Thanks, np3! That's a great idea about the cardboard. I've also thought about using the plastic canvas so they'd be washable!

These are great. Thanks for taking the time to show us how to make them.
