How to Sew A Fat Quarter Storage box by Debbie Shore
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- This handy storage box is the perfect size to fit six fat quarter packs, but of course you can store anything you like in there!
The finished size is 8” x 5” x 4” [20cm x 12.5cm x 10cm]
Make this in any size you like, but make sure the corners you cut out are square. I suggest if you want to try different sizes, cut the main shape out of paper first, tape the corners up and you’ll se the finished size of your box.
And why not add a ribbon trim to personalise your box!
Materials from www.debbieshoresewing.com
Materials:
13” x 16” [33cm x 40.5cm] Decovil Light
15” x 18” [38cm x 46cm] outer fabric [AGF Eve Diamonds]
16” x 18” [41cm x 46cm] lining fabric [Premium Rose Pink]
Cut a 4” [10cm] square from each corner of the Decovil
I know there is always some waste with sewing projects, but sometimes it blows my mind just how much some folks do waste! I’ve always had to be so frugal over the year it’s hard for me to waste anything. Can’t wait to give this pattern a go. Thank you for the good instructions! 🙂
Thank you so much! I just finished mine and it came out great. Your tutorial was spot on.🥰
Thank you Debbie for a great tutorial❤
i find the ladder stitch my favorite as well. my grandson thinks i'm a magician bc i can fix all of his plushies and "you can"t even tell where the booboo was at Grandma!" lol
SEwing up the sides on the outside at the end made a big difference! Thanks, Debbie!
The top edge might be a nice place for decorative stitching.
AWESOME!!!
Sew quick & something sew useful!! Thank you Debbie !! I bet everyone will be making these for all of our New Year's Organizering resolutions!!!
Really enjoyed this tutorial. I agree ladder stitch is very satisfying. I was sent some medium weight interfacing in error from Amazon, I’m going to make good use of it now! Double layers will be great for a more structured finish. Thanks again for taking your time to do this. I’ve learned a lot. 😊
Love the pink print fabric & your little boxy basket is cute & useful! TY
Awesome job!
These are darling as well as useful. I think ticking would make a great outer fabric or a canvas. There so many pretty prints in canvas now.
Decovil Light is expensive so an alternative way to cut is a complete middle section and two end panels cut separately. As it is iron on it would be easy to place these end panels in the right place, then proceed as instructed. This will save you the width of one end panel. If you make more than one box then the savings will quickly mount up. I measured the inside of an Ikea Billy bookcase to make boxes to fit (25 cm x 18 cm base x 18 cm height). I use the boxes to store sewing pattern envelopes.
Great idea
This wd be a nice size for charm packs too! And I’ve been looking for some containers to gather my sewing tools. These wd be great bc you can customize the size to your tools. Cd even make it w/a flap for a dust cover! Put a cute little button closure if you like.
I love this fabric, both the outer and lining fabric would make a lovely garment for a doll outfit. I make American doll clothes ❤️😉
What a lovely project, very simple and could use up some of these scraps we might have! Thank you Debbie!
Great idea Debbie. Thank you for sharing this. Ann from Va. USA 🇺🇸
Am planning on buying some of your fat quarter bundles so this box is a fantastic idea for storing those bundles thank you XXX
Excellent directions. Makes it so easy to follow along. Thanks.
Gday Debbie I can think of many uses for a box like this. Great idea sewing tips of corners like that,I must try that. TFS Kathy Sydney Australia. ♥
What a wonderful way to put all the knick-knacks in! Thank you so much, Debbie :D
Great idea! I love it. I have enjoyed watching your sewing ideas. Thank you!
Love what you do Debbie. And also I love your top you are wearing in this video.
Great tutorial and this box is perfect for many different craft supplies. Thank you.
Thank you so much Debbie. Such clear instructions as usual. Love your teaching so much. X
Very in pressed will try tomorrow
Ohhh thinking this make a cute hamper for Christmas/gift giving.
Thank you for a great tutorial Debbie. I made my first storage box today and I am thrilled that it came out so well; thanks to you.
Nice little fat quarter box. Thank you for such a nice tutorial.....brings up lots of ideas for embellishments if one is so inclined. 😊👍💕
The video edit is great .
The storage box is useful in daily life
The video is detail and clear
Like the tutorial and thanks for sharing
Wonderful! I've made three plus a square version!!
I definitely need a row of these! Thanks Debbie
Instructions were easy to understand, thank you
Hi Debbie - Awesome box! I’ve made a lot of these over the years. I like your tip about adding a small seam to the outside corners once it’s finished. I will be doing that on my next boxes. So many uses for these boxes!
🎉 Happy New Year!
Love your construction process!!!
I am new to this so will be watching
Such a cute project! Happy New Years day to you and your family! May 2022 be an awesome year!
Thank you, happy New Year to you too!
Perfect!! Thanks Debbie🥰
Thanks Debbie, great tutorial as always.
Thank you for your excellent video. I used it to create a dust-cover-lid for the box I use to store my thread-cones. Your directions were clear and precise. Best wishes!
Such a great idea ! 😊
Brilliant! Exactly what I was looking to do, thank you Debbie
This is very useful for so many things. You’ve made it look so easy. Thank you. If I make a bigger one do I have to make the corner cut outs bigger. 😍
I'm going to do a paper version like she suggests, as I was wondering that too and it'll give us an idea of the finished box.
@@elizabethprocter1031 great idea. Thank you.
Beautiful. I'm so doing this gem 🤗
Hi, why is the lining measurement larger than the main fabric in your instructions please?
Love it! Thank you very useful! Thanks so much!
Can you do this method with any size and shape box?
Love it
Love it Thank You 🙏 ❤️
Happy new year any ideas for gardening freind other thantool bag or carrying holder if possible
Made one of these, so lovely. Do the corner cut outs need to be bigger if you make a bigger one?
That’s right!
Buenos días muy lindo las cajas xfa las medidas gracias🙏❤️💯
My interfacing says peel the back of as well, did I use the wrong type?
That sounds like fusible adhesive, interfacing doesn’t normally have a peel off back…
I really like the box you made. Is the decovil available in the USA?
In Canada, it is called Pellon 526 - or something similar. You can probably find a product in the U.S. that is very close.
Thank you. I can buy Pellon. Yay!
You teach well but your tone of voice is so pleasant
Woooooooow 💋👌
Where do you get the stick fabric
I don't have Decovil light. What can I use instead?
Any firm interfacing would work…
Is fusible fleece strong enough?
It would work but not be as firm as this one
Nice tutorial, a bit wordy
