These fabric boxes are easy and quick to do, around 30 minutes. The first one will take a bit longer to do until you get the hang of it. Enjoy! :)
My box came out at 4″ x 4″ x 3″ high.
What You Will Need:
• 2 – 10” square fabric of your choice
• 1 – 10” square batting of your choice (I used Warm & Natural)
• Marking tool – fabric pen or chalk pencil
• Walking foot
• Ruler
• Scissors to cut thread
• Sewing machine
Directions:
1. Pick out your 2 fabric pieces and 1 batting. Cut them down to 10” or you can do 11” and after sewing
all three layers together you can cut them down.
2. Put fabric pieces right sides together and place them on top of batting square.
3. Stitch around perimeter using a 1/4” seam allowance (I know where that is on my walking foot);
leaving a 4” opening on one side.
4. Trim the corners and turn it inside out and press down with your hands.
5. I marked an “X” on my fabric top with a disappearing fabric pen.
6. Starting at end with the opening, top stitch close to the edge around the square. The opening will be
closed as you go.
7. Quilt as desired or like me I just kept going, pivoting on the marked “X” that I had made.
8. Fold the square in half, with the fabric you want on the inside of the box being on the outside.
9. Mark your 2” lines and draw a diagonal. I used my chalk pencil so that you can see better. Do this for
the other end.
10. Stitch on the diagonal line you had drawn.
11. Open up and fold it in the other direction, and once again marking your diagonal lines and stitching
the 2 remaining corners.
12. Turn box inside out.
13. Fold points over and top stitch around the top of the box.
You are done!!! Enjoy!!
