How to Sew a Reversible Fabric Box

[@patriciaberne613]

I liked the way you explained everything in detail. That certainly helps for persons just learning to sew. Tutorial was clear and well organized! Thanks. PBerne

[@staceyleecreative]

Awesome thanks so much for watching. Your comment made my day 🤗

[@eileensimpson3725]

Great detail I so appreciate that. I am self taught so it surely helps a bunch.

[@dtharge4082]

Check out “pattern scout”. One piece and no cutting corners

[@rebecca_ann]

I’m a beginner sewer and i made this in 2 hours. I used quilting batting because it was all i had 😅 so i sewed it to the lining like how you ironed the fleece and it all worked out great!

[@staceyleecreative]

That's so awesome! I'm thrilled to hear you were able to make it in just 2 hours!

[@sherylcrawford8201]

Your instructions are crystal clear. Thank you from the USA.

[@staceyleecreative]

Thank you very much! I’m in the USA too 🤗

This would go great in the box for foster children. A nice organizer for their personal items.

[@staceyleecreative]

Hi Michelle, I agree it would be lovely, unfortunately Comfort Cases only accept certain items as the bags only fit so much. 🤗

I've been searching for an easier version of making these cute "boxes" to hold my fat squares by color and by holidays. This is the clearest and easy to follow directions. Thank you. I have such as difficult time getting rid of all my scraps and so used the scraps sewn together to make the outer side. A patchwork look... With the liner the color of the fat squares so when turned down easier to look through my samples. Thank you again.

[@staceyleecreative]

That sounds like such a creative and practical way to use up those scraps! 😊 I love the idea of a patchwork look with the liner matching the fat squares-so clever! I’m thrilled the tutorial was helpful for you. Happy organizing! 🌟

Had to watch the replay this time. So much traffic due to construction on CT highways yesterday I was late getting home. Apparently those workers didn't get the memo that Stacey Lee was on at 5:00!!🤣🤣 Thank you for another great tutorial.

Fantastic, clear tutorial! You have a new fan! Will check out your website. THANK YOU! Going to make some boxes right now. You must have a background in teaching home economic. I think this would be such a fun high school project...the students could proudly display them on them on their desks.

[@cj6337]

What a lovely tutorial Stacey. Thank you. I get what you mean about opening the seams. Can be a bit of a challenge. I happened to notice I have a finished piece of wood that was 1 inch thick, 2 1/2 inches wide and 11 inches long (sort of like a clapper) I put that into the hole of the bag at the bottom and this made it easier to press my seams open before sewing the bottom closed. Thanks again Stacey for all your wonderful tutorials.

If I want to make bigger or smaller boxes, I just need to follow the same directions, or do I need to adjust the curved box you cut out early in Stacey?

[@Dasburyfamily]

I found the answer when I printed the instructions. 🥰

[@staceyleecreative]

Hi Debbi, yes exactly same instructions, you just need to adjust the size of the squares you cut out. I have given some different measurements over on my website here: www.stacey-lee.com/2022/03/18/reversible-fabric-box-tutorial/

Why do I get puckers when sewing inner lining to right side of fabric before turning out ? need help please thank you.😮

[@staceyleecreative]

Hi Janice! 😊 Puckering when sewing the lining to the right side can happen if the fabric layers shift or if there’s too much tension. Use pins or clips to secure the layers before sewing. Sew slowly to give yourself more control. Also change your needle.

[@jeane.2722]

thx

[@staceyleecreative]
