Hi there! I am excited to show you this cute little fabric box I made over the weekend. A few weeks ago my mom made a bunch of these and gave me one! I was so smitten with these little boxes--I told her she had to show me how to make one. Well I finally had the chance to visit her last weekend and she helped me make this charming little box:
It was so easy to put together, and only took about an hour to complete! I love projects like that! It is so satisfying to start and finish something in an hour or less.
And I actually used some leftover scraps I had from the Pickup Line Bundle! So I have literally gotten two quilts -- (Hidden Star, and the Irish Chain we are working on right now!) and now a fabric box from one bundle!
The tutorial that we followed, was very clear and had great instructions. We did change the size of this box here though. Instead of using a 10" square, we used an 8" square.
I also decided to quilt this following the chevron lines. My mom came up with the idea, and I thought it would be perfect for this chevron print by Michael Miller! :)
Here is the inside--I love this fun dot print by Michael Miller!
Like I said, the box is jut a little thing and measures 2.5" high.
I decided to put all my basting pins in the box--they fit perfectly!
If you want to make one of these little beauties yourself, you can find the tutorial I used here!
Also, I just wanted to mention that the shop is having a huge sale on already marked down items!!!
This is a fantastic deal and a great time to stock up on some of your favorite fabrics that are on sale! :)
Talk to you soon,

I made one of these but tried to follow another person's modification to it. I didn't end up with that person's design but something totally different, yet cool . . . an oddly interesting shape mine was.
Very cute box - would make a good Christmas gift. THanks!
SO cute!!
Thanks for the idea! I am sew going to make some of these! Love the chevron quilting. Your pictures are great. Love the shot of the box upside down!
SO cute! These would make cute little gifts!
I'm so glad you shared at Needle and Thread Thursday!
