I made two fabric boxes for my living room to store the kiddo's books/toys. I know you can find them pretty much anywhere, but finding the colors/fun fabrics you like is much more difficult.I used this tutorial over at Make It and Love It. I love the tutorial as it had very clear, step-by-step instructions.
My only advice for those thinking about making these...
- This is not a beginner sewing project.
- Use a more heavy duty needle. I broke one trying to sew through the very thick, lined with interfacing, pieces.
-Used double folded bias tap (the single won't work)
-Do not use the double-sided interfacing. Use just the single-sided, thick, iron on kind.
- This project is very costly unless you buy your supplies on sale (gotta love Joann Fabric's 50% off coupons) or if you already have some of the supplies.
- Sewing the binding on is super tough. To try and whip the already-put-together, stiff boxes around the sewing machine was very difficult. Once again, not a beginner's project!
