Wonderful project! Thanks for sharing!

That is such a great way to use the canisters. Now I can think of others that might work this way. I love the using of a drawer as a guide for the cutting of the box, as otherwise, I wouldn't be able to get it straight.
Thanks again!

That is just so darn cute that I've got to try making it. Thanks for the great tutorial. Well done!

THANKS

That was just wonderful. thank you so much for showing us that. I will have to try it.

Thank you so much.

Thanks for the great tutorial and a great recycling project.

That was exactly the problem! If you don't cut the top edge exactly straight, it won't close again. Scissors will not give you that nice straight edge! And just running a razor knife on a drawn line will give you a wavy edge at best. But holding the blade flush against the top edge of the drawer and turning it gives you a clean straight edge that does the trick. Of course, you can make it any height you want, even leaving it as it is. But I wanted to disguise the fact that it was an oatmeal container, so I had to cut it down. Plus I think the shorter height is handier for its purpose. It makes it look "cute" and not quite so top-heavy.

Thanks for the Posting. I was so engrossed in ready the replies of those who could not find your tutorial. I by the way was in the same boat. It was welcome comice relief for the day. :0)

PS My dad used to keep the plastic rings so my boys could play ring toss when they visited.

so cute, and a beautiful tute, you did a fabulous job showing us how to make these

thanks

I love oatmeal, I have to start saving the containers

Looks awesome...Thanks..
I use a box of oatmeal a week. I make all my own dog food. Now I know what to do with all those empty containers.........LOL

thank you. thank you for sharing-love it, and even have a container to try out this weekend :-D :-D

Thanks, perfect time of the year to eat that oatmeal - make those cookies.

That is the perfect gift for a sewing beginner to get them excited about sewing. Very cute and functional.

Super! I'll start sewing my "mush" boxes. Thank-you for sharing.

Thanks for Sharing!!

Beautiful sewing kit/pincushion! Great job on the tutorial.

That's was cool

Seasaw2mch contacted me because she made a PDF of the tutorial. I am posting it here and am hoping that it can be moved to the beginning where it can be found easily and downloaded. She really did a great job on the PDF! Thank you Seasaw2mch!

Great Tutorial. I always have oatmeal canisters on hand. Wondered what way I could use them. Thanks.

You are so clever KastleKitty.

I use a lot of oatmeal. Unfortuneately I just threw out a container! But I'm definitely saving all the rest.

And I like the idea of using the full size for UFO projects. I have some cross stitch and small crochet projects that would fit perfectly.

Thanks for sharing.

great tutorial. thanks.

tutorial was really so well done, but thought I shhould remind UK quilters that although we don't have oats sold in that type of packing we do have Birds Custard powder or Cadbury's drinking chocolate !! So no excuses.. family will be getting prunes for the next few weeks LOL

Hello KastleKitty,
Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial...the pdf is such a big help..a big thank you to Seasaw2mch...this project is going on my gift list this year....

LOL I opt for the chocolate! LOL LOL

Seasaw2mch did a wonderful job on the PDF. It makes it so much easier to download! I have to thank her again! She was so thoughtful!

Thank you for sharing! I think this is such a great pincushion!

Cute!

Thanks for the tutorial, great job :thumbup:
i like re using opjects

This is so neat, I'll have to try this. Good for gifts too.

Quilting friends, I told my daughter about QB and sent her links to see what I am doing. She sent me pics of the sewing kit I made for her over 4 years ago to post! LOL This one I made before I had aspirations of quilting and I used scraps from garment construction, hence the subdued solids instead of prints. Everything was hand sewn.

KastleKitty, that is so sophisticated ! I love it!

Sherylb

These are both so pretty, and the tute is really cool! thanks!

This is so neat! I might actually try to make one of these!
