BASIC SKILLS NECESSARY

This is an excellent pattern for the very beginner bag/box making sewist. Easy and quick to make and the pattern has color photos showing every step of making the boxes.

MEASUREMENTS

Finished Size: 5x5” (12.5x12.5cm) large box, 4x4” (10x10cm) medium box and 3x3” (7.5x7.5cm) small box.

SUPPLIES NEEDED

Fabric:

0.5 yard (50cm) - Exterior: Non directional cotton exterior fabric is enough for all 3 boxes.

0.5 yard (50cm) - Lining: Non directional cotton exterior fabric is enough for all 3 boxes. 

Interfacing:

18 x 22” (45x55cm) - Heavy-weight, fusible interfacing: Such as Fast 2 Fuse Heavy, Pellon 72F Peltex 2 Sided Fusible or Pellon 71F Peltex if you prefer one sided fusible, however, then you won’t be able to fuse the lining for that crisp look.

0.5 yard (50cm) - Lightweight fusible interfacing: Such as Vilene G700 woven fusible, Pellon SF101 Shape-Flex or similar.

Notions:

6 - Buttons 3/4” (1.9cm) in diameter or bigger: They need to be this big to close the gap between the folds, to not let elastic show. 2 buttons are used for each box.

24”(60cm) - Round elastic: Slimmer is better, or cut up thin round elastic hair bands to get colors to match your fabric. 8” (20cm) is used for each box.

Rotary cutter, cutting mat & ruler.

Fabric glue.
