Make Your Own Small, Fabric Catch -All!

[@jeanb1199]

Vanessa. Thanks for keeping this video available. I made these a couple of years ago when I first started sewing little projects for friends. Now one of my friends, 1500 miles away and new to sewing, contacted me for how to make them. She wants to make some to give away. I forwarded your info to her. Thanks so much for sharing these little projects. I've made just about, if not all, of your small gift ideas!!

[@lisamock7795]

This pattern is SO forgiving. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your videos. Made these several times as I always find a use for them.

[@g.stenbuck9562]

Great idea to use French seams on the corners! It makes the box go together so much quicker, easier, and the corners make simple little "handles" for picking up the box.

[@DeeLightfulCo]

Great idea. I love giving gifts/treats in home made boxes nd bags It allows you to jazz up an inexpensive gift when you have so many to give.

[@CraftyGeminiCreates]

+DeeLightful Co And they're so fun to make! :)

[@tinat986]

Love your videos. I am a self taught sewer who isn't very good at it at all. I had left sewing for quite awhile but since watching your videos I have gotten back into it and because of your easy to follow tutorials I am sewing like a pro! Thank you for your great easy little projects and for being such a wonderful teacher.

[@KarenLindemann-i4g]

I just made four of these and I am sure it did not take me more than a half hour !! Made them in my friends favorite colors. Will fill them with homemade caramels and wrap in Christmas cellophane and ribbon!! Their presents are wrapped in the cute Christmas gift bags you had a tutorial on. :) Thank you for all your wonderful ideas !!!! Karen

[@irenemoreaux4446]

Excellent instructions. Thank you for all your prep work as I do not enjoy sitting through entire videos watching a project being fully sewn out. Great gift idea.

[@sherrymaylee8755]

I have just recently found you on you tube. So glad I did! You are a great teacher and I love your projects. Thank you for sharing.

[@judyabernathy9405]

I've made several of these, and for one, just to test it.... I used Peltex under the felt. It made it very stiff, but for organizing items that need that support, it worked great. It would be worth trying some other interfacings to see which stiffness you want.

[@winona7836]

Perfect little box definitely going to make a few of these. Love the French seam. Excellent tutorial as always

[@jhjln8712]

Ah ha! French seams to the rescue. I have been watching video after video and all over Pinterest tutorials to find out how the little sticky-outie edges are made, because I like how it gives a sharp corner. I wondered if it was French seams.

[@zakiyyahtanzil8477]

Absolutely adorable creation. I adore it . Thanx 4 sharing the French seam technique

[@lorrainewalden9469]

Thank Linda. I will make this craft but will use something other then felt.

[@cindymclendon9832]

I have watched quite a few of your videos ! you are so good and to the point, I can make these !! Thank you ! I love these boxes, and baskets, and bags !

[@19Celia57]

How fast, fun and CREATIVE! You rock!!

[@miriammuslim4245]

Vanessa u have a god given gift love your work

[@gloriacabeen1605]

Hi Vanessa - I made 3 of these - so far - and have added an extra step to increase the stability. I've sewn a top stitch 1/4" in from all the bottom edges. Now they stand up better, especially the larger one I made for my husband for his keys, watch, ring, reading glasses, etc. Love all your videos!

[@lorraineharris6259]

So cute!!! Thanks again I look forward to all your videos!!!

[@ArdenKuhn]

I just made one and absolutely loved it. I am learning a lot from you. Thanks!

[@marthacymbaluk3513]

[@cwhrlng]

[@CraftyGeminiCreates]

+Carolyn Wefsenmoe you are so sweet :) Thanks for the love!

[@tinageorge8759]

Thank you Vanessa, just made a pretty green one to hold my SF 101 Woven fuse interfacing scraps to go in my Green sewing room! 💚

[@debco12]

I made one of these tonight and it turned out great! Thank you!

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Vanessa that's so lovely and a great idea 💡. I could see me making a bunch of these.

[@944gemma]

This is so clever and probably very useful.

[@philby611]

Looks quick to make so I think I'll make some (in a smaller size) for the ladies at work and put some of the fudge I'm planning to make in them.

[@donnacooper2562]

Just brought some felt to have a go! 😊

[@CraftyGeminiCreates]

+Donna Cooper so great! Don't forget to post pictures of your projects on our Facebook page, Crafty Gemini Creates!

[@sewsweet502]

That was great I'll be making some of these ..love your ideas and scrapyness😁ha ha he he

[@judyhoomalamalama]

lov this thank u so much. Full of fun ideas for gifts and usefull items.

[@sweetp285]

Wonder if you could switch the orientation of the french seams and have the poky part on the inside. I'll have to experiment! Love this project!

[@pamelaleitman9200]

I was thinking about that too😀

[@sherrymaylee8755]

yes just reverse the order of sewing the seams

[@rebeccapyles6341]

I know I'm late, but I'm just finding you, Crafty Gemini! I think it's sweet that you have the bag you made with Jenny Doan of MSQC hanging behind you. You're great!

[@waterboy8999]

Thank you lovely lady.

[@beaniegreen4849]

You're a genius! Thanks for this tutorial.

[@chantalida53]

Thank you so much for this lovely tutorial.

[@charlenejutras1595]

Very Cute! Thanks for sharing this and all of your ideas! I wonder if you could reverse the side seams so that the nobby parts are on the inside? I will try both ways and see.....

[@CraftyGeminiCreates]

+Charlene Jutras You'll have to let us know how it goes, Charlene! :)

[@sherrymaylee8755]

yes just reverse the order

[@m.salazar1411]

I accidentally did the French seams in reverse order and the shape of the box is very different, much less boxy. It doesn't hold it's shape or sit as flat. Going to use it "inside out" anyway and make another. These are so easy and fun to make!

[@vivianagutierrez1966]

Love your videos

[@pamelaleitman9200]

Love it! Any ideas to share about organizing your scraps and fabrics?

[@nonarhoads1515]

Love your tutorials. Keep up the good work!

[@margaretperry2015]

Love it!,

[@zarrarkhan1668]

Amazing

[@canlyn62texan82]

Too cute.

[@conniejurgs9427]

Super great video! Did you make the round fabric piece next to tje sewing machine and if so, do you have a video for it, please? Thank you!

[@paigetaylor5879]

Great idea!

[@tsmshafeequeshafeeque8099]

I am a great fan of yours. ..

[@soozieevans7222]

just finished my first one, not too bad. I need to get a new dog feed for my machine, mine is rubber, not metal. I think that is where some of my problem is with my fabric moving and not moving when I start to sew

[@CraftyGeminiCreates]

+Soozie Evans That would probably help out, Soozie! :)

[@bjbevins8783]

Very Cute! I Like!

[@marens8925]

Great tutorial... What presser foot is that you are using? New at sewing and different items used for machine.

[@SuperJitendra123]

Very nice

[@trudythomas5036]

Good tutorial... could you use a stabilizer fusible in between layers?

[@pammeinzer6757]

Do you have a tutorial for stack and whack quilt?

[@godsspecialchild86]

Oh that's awesome! I knew there was a way to make them more "taller". Btw, what would happen if you gusseted (sp?) the corners?

[@kaylaing9595]

Vanessa, I can never locate the supply list. What kind of felt is that, and does it hold up well? Thanks, you make some of the neatest things!

[@marythomas6543]

Loved it!! Definitely making several!

[@geraldinedarden8937]

worth waiting for

[@hansamehta4040]

Soooooo nice

[@lawconcepts6631]

Good idea

[@serenabuffagni8870]

Hi vanessa, is this felt really thin? Because in italy we have two types, one is like 1/16 of a inch thin and the other one 1/8 of a inch. Which one would it be better to use for this project? Thanks!

[@teresamoore1726]

Nice

[@dianeduncan9823]

Great Idea Vanessa ( as usual ) thanks for the video lovey xo :)

[@sarahjester8729]

Love this ! what is largest size you have made in one of these ?

[@antonialeci7559]

love!!

[@DebbieUnderfinger]

Loved it! I have a question, do you make another "box" for the lid as well?

[@vikanshasharma220]

very nice

[@laniec.f.2531]

I happened across this project and, sadly, I cannot find this fabric. I welcome suggestions.

[@marysid59]

Can these be made on a domestic machine

[@spyderquilt9783]

Hi Venessa, What sewing machine is that? TY.

[@Carol-Bell]

I wonder if fleece is stiff enough for lining, like the felt? Love this project!!!

[@CraftyGeminiCreates]

+Gerrie Louden Fleece would most likely be too flimsy for this one unfortunately.

[@inacove5224]

+Gerrie Louden You could iron on some interfacing and then it might be stiff enough :)

[@troubletinks8494]

What foot do you have on your machine ?

[@lorrainewalden9469]

Can u wash the felt

[@CraftyGeminiCreates]

+Lorraine Walden It's best to hand-wash it if necessary, but a lot of washing can cause it to fall apart.

[@lindabrown7374]

+Lorraine Walden If it's craft felt, it won't wash well at all. I know this from experience.

[@sandraponce2699]

Hi Vanessa, Great quick project! What type of machine are you using in this video?

[@CraftyGeminiCreates]

+Sandra Ponce Hi Sandra! This is the Baby Lock Katherine, it's a great machine! :)

[@bethschlotte8611]

Sandra Ponce mblc

[@joycedrifter6408]

Are the instructions written any where? Have a group of new sewers that asked for them.

[@wendyn3460]

make some coloredcpencil holders plz

[@Vocalist1969]

Using a zipper foot might be helpful for the last step.

[@CraftyGeminiCreates]

+Vocalist1969 That's a great idea!

[@amitacherukumilli1377]

What is the name of your sewing machine? I'm looking to buy a new one. Thanks.

[@CraftyGeminiCreates]

+Amita Cherukumilli This machine is the Baby Lock Katherine, it's a great one! :)
