Scrap Fabric Box to hold fat quarters, charm packs and scraps!

Today, we're going to make fabric boxes. They can be made in almost no time and used for so many different things! The ones I show you the measurements for will hold approximately 30 fat quarters, or stacks of charm packs. You could use them to hold fabric scraps or smaller pieces... the sky is the limit!
Used in the video:
Lining: Two pieces measuring 8" x 12.5"
Interfacing measuring 7.75" x 12.25"
Two pieces measuring 8" x 12.5" Interfacing measuring 7.75" x 12.25"
Fusible Fleece (or cotton batting) measuring 7.75" x 12.25"
*NOTE * For the smaller, square boxes, I used 7" x 8" pieces with a 1.75" square cut out and then an 8" x 9" with a 1.75" piece cut out.
The interfacing/fusibles I used and showed in the video:
Fusible Fleece Pellon 987f
Heat N Bond Non-Woven Extra Firm
SF (Shape Flex) 101
Cotton Batting

[@mopigb2545]

Thanks for getting this back to mind. Just have some leftovers from a Baby quilt, perfect to have a box to go with it.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Andra, that sounds like a perfect leftover to make a box from! Have a fabulous week!

[@lindafouse7059]

Good morning Marie, loved the video, love the boxes, might try to make a few.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Good morning Linda! I certainly hope you give them a try. They’re quite easy and fast and they can be used for so many different things. Have a great week!

[@beverlyzeigler8788]

Great little boxes. Can be used for the kids craft supplies or small toys.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Yes Beverly, that’s a great idea. I had thought if it were done in children’s prints they could store there a little Legos or small little figures or little cars in them. Thank you and have a great week!

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

Jean truelove has a set of larger nesting baskets, for larger items, you might like them too. I had an idea to add a clear pocket on the side. You can put in a label about contents, or a pattern or project picture, laminate first if a photo or photocopy so it won't stick to the vinyl. You can use them as project bags, to Keep everything to finish a project all together You can put an inside pocket divided or not to hold tools upright in one for notions, needles, bobbins, markers, rotary cutter small ruier, Jack the seam ripper, scissors or snips etc. I made a 12" per side sewing bag with a high top and draw cords. Made a couple of small square ones to fit inside with the notions one, the smallest around, so the pieces go in, with boxes on top, fold up the top of largest bag and draw cord, and pick up handles. Some quilters are talking about scrap management, you could make 5" squares from your scraps and store in the size you just made, if there are cards in fqs you use, those may be good colour dividers? How about 2 1/2" squares. Would about 8 boxes 5" deep by 2 1/2" for those squares fit well inside a 10 1/2" by 5 1/2", stacked 2x high? You could use an old x-ray, or template plastic to keep the base flat? Have you got one for layer cakes yet? All the best.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hi Kathleen! I started watching Jean Truelove a while back, although I haven't seen all her videos. I just looked up the video after reading your comment and I bookmarked the video to watch when I can - thanks for that! I had a thought similar to yours with labeling the contents, that's fabulous! There are so many ways they can be used. I had talked with a friend last week and told her I was going to make a taller, narrower one with stiffer sides so it could hold scissors, rotary cutter, etc on my table area. I haven't played around with any other sizes at this point, although I did think about one for layer cakes. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Take care!

[@jeanmoore4892]

A wrapped gift for family or friends setting inside the box, 2 gifts in one. Great video.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

That’s a great idea, Jean! I’m glad you like the video and thank you so much for your feedback. Have a great week and I hope you have fun sewing!

[@norma-jeanmcguire1810]

I love this box! My daughter asked me to make a basket to hold bread on her dinner table. I think this will be perfect for that!

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

That is a great idea and you are the second person in the comment section to mention them being used as a bread basket. I think it’s a fabulous idea. Thank you so much for your comment, I really appreciate it. Have a great weekend happy sewing!

[@CarlaWebbmagicwriter]

Great instructions. I love the way my box turned out. Pressing is the key to a neat box. I will be making these for gifts for sure.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hi Carla! I’m so glad you enjoyed my video and the instructions. I love these boxes and think that they’re handy for so many things, and any room of the house. You were right, they will make great gifts and I hope you enjoy making lots of them for your friends and family, I’m sure they’ll love them. I apologize for the delay in replying, but I have been very sick.

[@deborahvankleef382]

Hi Marie, Thanks again for sharing all your ideas! Your precision and easy way to make things is always so much appreciated….I want to let you know how grateful I am for your tutorials 🥰 and yes we all need to be kind!!!!

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Good Monday morning Deborah and thank you so much for your sweet comment. You’re very welcome, I love to share my ideas and thoughts with you all. I appreciate that you pick up on all the small things that I try to do to make each project special. I hope you have a fabulous week and that you get some sewing time in. Take care!

[@morriaudh4329]

I just wanted to let you know that I have made a ton of fabric baskets from different people's instructions and yours is by far the best and easiest to do. You can adjust the size easier and the video is perfect for helping to make the basket. The others were good, BUT yours is the BEST.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Wow! Well, thank you so much for such a sweet comment. I have watched a lot of videos, read blogs, etc and although there was helpful information here and there, I set out to find my own way of doing it. I am only too happy to pass it along to you and everyone else. Thank you so much for letting me know that you enjoyed the video and found it helpful. Your comment made my day! Happy sewing!

[@zoelakidis7499]

Hi Marie, I absolutely love your Videos - you are sk bright & bubbles on camera & I REALLY like the way you Sew on Camera as well. It feels like you are not only helping us to learn new skills, you get "stuck in" & you talk "with us" while you're working - not "sitting at your Sew Machine & talking at us - not demonstrating how to make useful Items" Anyway, I just wanted to stop by to tell you how much I look forward to your Videos. Bye for now, Zoe` from Australia 🙂🙃

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Awww Zoe, that was such a beautiful comment to read. You melt my heart!! 🥰 Thank you ever so much for your sweet comment! I do feel as though you guys are right with me when I am filming. I just pretend I don't have a camera there and that I am sitting in a room with my friends. That's what it's all about, enjoying what we do and talking about it with friends. Take care and have a fantastic week, my new friend!

[@deborahvankleef382]

Hi Marie, Just a special thank you for showing us hoe to start sewing by bringing up the bobbin thread…. I do this when I’m quilting but never really bothered to with other projects…well, can I say I have been doing it since you showed us and it has made a huge difference…I am very picky with my sewing and have been struggling with messy beginnings but I have been sewing some new projects and WOW I love them…thanks again🥰

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hi Deborah! You are ever so welcome and I thank you for such a thoughtful and kind comment! I have done that "trick" for lack of a better word, with my thread for years now, after becoming frustrated with sewn beginnings that looked less than pleasing. It sounds like we are similar in that way, that we like it to look nice. I'm so glad I could bring it to mind for you so you could begin to use it in all your projects!

[@peggyfanning9258]

Thank you for this wonderful pattern! So many possible uses!!!

Hello Peggy thank you for your wonderful comment. Yes, these boxes could be used for so many different things. Have a great week!

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Well good morning, my beautiful friend! I am so glad that you enjoyed this box. When I was making the tutorial, I specifically thought of you, because I knew you would jump right on and make some immediately. I’m going to make some in Christmas fabrics as well, as I think they would make a great decor and there’s so many different things that could be put in them. I hope you have a wonderful week.

[@bettyweaver7446]

I so love your video on how to make a fabric "box". A "box" can be used for so many different things. I plan to make a "box" for each of my granddaughters. A "box" for Raycheal to put her crocheting notions in; a "box for Brittnee to put items in for my first great granddaughter; and a "box for Josie to set on her dresser. I LOVE this "BOX". Great video, I hope you have a great day off!

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Good morning Betty and thank you so much for your comment, I loved all your different uses of the word “box”. I’m so glad that you’re going to give this pattern a try. I think it’s very fun, as well as very quick and easy. There are just a million possible uses for these. I think I’m going to make some for one of my granddaughters for all her little dolls. She has some that are no longer than my pointer finger. Have a great week and happy sewing!

[@suefarely2731]

Thank You!!! I live this video The idea of tacking the bottom to make the lining stay is place is brilliant. I always hand tack the corners.Your lighting , sound and voice are all good. Very pleasant to watch and listen to.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hi Sue! I’m glad you enjoyed this! Yes, tacking down those corners is a game changer. I started doing it early on, in my tote bag, as well as my open wide zippered bag tutorials, as well as a few others. I use the technique quite frequently, as there’s nothing more aggravating to me than to grab inside a bag and have the liner pull up and out. Very unprofessional. Take care and happy sewing!

[@MarieH528]

You did a great job with the tutorial for this fabric box- I love them! Thank You for Sharing! I think I’m going to make a short one to scoot my mot used tools at my sewing machine that I can slide under the extension table because there’s no other room on my table for anything!

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

That’s a great idea Marie and I had thought of using a taller one with more fusible in it, to hold things like my rotary cutter and scissors, etc. Thank you so much for your comment and I hope you have a great week. Happy sewing!

I see numerous boxes in my future. A possible decoration to your box, use a solid lining and use a variegated thread with a row of one of the decorative stitches ( that most machines have now) on the turned down lining edge. Would be great baby shower gift to use on changing table.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hello Nana! Yes, that is a fabulous idea, thank you! As you say, so many of the newer machines have all these fancy stitches and that just gives us another excuse to use some of them, along with some pretty thread. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

You’re very welcome, Laura! It makes me happy to know that I put out a good tutorial that so many people can use. I appreciate you watching and then taking the time to comment, thank you! Have a wonderful week and happy sewing!

These will be so useful! Thank you! Brenda Logan sent me over to your site and I'm glad she did.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Brenda is a sweetheart and I love her channel. Talk about a talented sewer! I'm glad she sent you over and that you're enjoying my content. Thank you!

[@1228Rhonda]

New subscriber, really enjoyed listening to you. Your directions are thorough and I really appreciate it. I have never made a fabric box and I like that you do not assume everyone knows what to do. Thank you

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hi Rhonda! Thank you for subscribing! I'm so happy that you found me and that you are enjoying my content. I also appreciate that you noticed how I like to teach step by step. I always try to teach by pretending that I am sitting at my sewing machine for the first time and asking myself what I would want to know. Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate that! I'll see you for Sunday's tutorial!

[@portialanden6353]

I just have to make some of these fabric boxes. I love the fabric you made your box with! Thank you for another great tutorial ❤

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hi Portia! I’m so glad you enjoyed the tutorial and that you like the boxes. They’re so quick and easy to make and I hope you try them. Have a great week sweet lady and I’ll see you next time. Happy sewing!

These are beautiful fabric boxes. I’ll save to do when I get home

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Enjoy, Sylvia! Have fun sewing them!

[@annettestoutjesdyk8641]

These fabric boxes are so useful! Very easy to follow tutorial. Thanks Marie. Looking forward to the next one!😀

Thank you Annette! I'm glad you liked it! Happy sewing!

[@nancytoupin2190]

Perfect timing for these great boxes! I love how you take the time to do the “extra” pressing and other ways to add a look of professionalism to every project you make. Those finishing touches really make a difference in the end product. My iron is always on when I’m sewing because I also like the crispness it adds. Have a great Sunday sewing and thank you for another wonderful fun time with you on Sunday morning! 🎃

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Thank you Nancy, I’m so glad you enjoyed the video and thank you so much for your sweet comment. Yes, I do like to use those finishing touches and it probably comes from watching my mom sew. She never used any shortcuts in her finishing touches and I think that that is what adds to a project. I almost cringe when I see some KZbinrs who will say “oh it doesn’t matter if you iron it doesn’t make any difference”. It can make ALL the difference. Yes, there are times where it’s not necessary, but I have never found it to be a negative thing in any project. I had to laugh when you said that you always have your iron on… that’s why mine beeps in so many videos, because it’s always on. LOL. Have a fabulous week and happy sewing, Nancy!

[@rachelburgener819]

Wellllll look at that!!! I think I’ll size it up for a bushel box😝. No maybe not that big🤪 Awesome tutorial, I do plan on making some of these. Thank you so much❤️😀

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hey there Rachel, ha ha a bushel box, ha ha it gets exciting though to think of all the different possible sizes you could make, as well as all the possible uses for these boxes. They certainly dressed up my sewing room. Have a great week and I hope you have lots of fun sewing. See you next time!

[@kathyb.8769]

I just found you today. I really like your content and how real and down to earth you are. I am newly subscribed and look forward to your future videos. I have so much scrap I don't even know what to do with it all. Now I have some solid ideas having binged watched all your videos. Thank you for all that you do!

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hello and welcome, Kathy! Your comment really made me smile, thank you for that! I have been very sick for 2 weeks, so I need all the encouragement I can get. I did do a livestream yesterday, but there will be no tutorial tomorrow for the 2nd Sunday in a row, which is a bummer. Anyway, I'm glad you're enjoying my channel and again, welcome!

[@sherylthrasher9570]

Hi there I just found you and I'm so happy that I did. I really like your box ,boxes that you have make you did awesome job on the tutorial thank you so much. I plan on making the box for my sewing room .Have a great week and take care. Happy sewing.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hi Sheryl! Welcome to my channel, I’m so happy you found me. I’ve been going for about eight months now, I think. I’m so glad you like the video tutorial and I hope you have fun making some for your sewing room. I know mine certainly dressed it up in here. I love them and I’m going to make more for some of my smaller items. Thank you so much for your comment, I appreciate that. Have a wonderful week and happy sewing!

[@marierosenau4754]

Hi Marie - I am so happy you did a tutorial on this style of fabric box. I was looking at different ones for awhile. These look great scrappy and I want to try to make some as gifts. Yours are beautiful and very nicely made. I hope to see you on Wednesday my friend, have a beautiful start to your week!

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hello Marie and happy Monday! I’m so glad you like the fabric boxes that I made. My favorites are the ones made with the scrap crumb blocks. But, of course I would choose the scrappy ones, right? Thank you for your compliment, as I do strive to make things well. I hope you give these a try soon, they’re very quick and easy and looks so good not only in the craft room, but around the house. Have a wonderful week and happy sewing!

[@helenmorgan4003]

Thank you for an idea for my quilting girls for Christmas 2023,this year doing pin cushions with 3 folded felt bars to hold clips, showed my quilt shop lady, she was so surprised, I designed it myself not sure if there is anything out there like it, will put a photo on Facebook page.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

You’re very welcome, Helen. I’m glad you like the idea and that you might use it in the future. Thank you for showing us your pin cushions that whole clips on the Facebook page. When I find mine I will show you how I had made them. Yours are beautiful and I love that fabric!

[@lucyscott736]

I have Pelion 808 craft fuse. I think it’s a sew in. I guess, I would quit it in? I’m excited to make this box for the girls. The grandkids loved all the bags.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Craft fuse should work just fine and I don't think you would need to quilt it. You could if you wanted to, but I don't think it's necessary, as long as it's attached

[@daphneduffy473]

Thank you Marie. I made one as example, for my make up, worked fabulous. I will make more. 👍

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Wonderful! I hope you enjoyed making it and that you make many more! Happy sewing!

[@theresabecerra6565]

Love your box you did such a great job and loved the new intro

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hi Theresa! Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it both the video and the box pattern. Thank you also for noticing my new intro. I like to change it up every now and again and I thought that might be fun to welcome people into my sewing room. I always say that I feel like you guys are right here with me, so I thought that might be fun. Have a great week and hope you have some fun sewing!

im in the prosses of re doing my craft space the boxes will come in handy for my sorting and it will use up some of my older fabric...Susan Cross many boxes to come

Love your creativity. one caution you should take off the sticky tag it messes up your fabric.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Thank you, Sue Ann. I was going to question which fabric you were talking about, but you must mean the ones in the stack.😃 Thanks for watching and for commenting I appreciate that!

[@julxie-quitting6741]

I’m going to try using Soft & Stable!

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

I bet the soft and stable worked out well. I would love to hear all about it! sorry for the late reply, but I’ve been sick.

[@bettyschmid6248]

Marie. Another sweet project. I’m working on Christmas gifts for my family. For sure the box’s are next on my “to do” list. I have way to many charm packs so using the 5” tumbler template there’s barely any waste I have so far made 8 table toppers. I learned a couple more tips from this tutorial even I’ve been sewing over 50 years(yikes)❤🎃

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Good morning Betty! I know what you mean though, we can find tips and hints that we never would’ve thought of, no matter how much experience we have. My mother has always said we learn something new every day and that is so true. Wow, you have been busy making table runners! Thank you so much for dropping by to comment, I appreciate that. Have a wonderful week and happy sewing!

[@5kristy71]

I love this one. I haven’t made theses boxes before and I always get confused as to which different interfacing to use. It can be reversible too.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hi Kristy! I know that interface things and fusible can be confusing and that’s why I tried to throw out some ideas to all of you to let you know that it’s OK to try different things to see how it works for you. I’m a huge believer in using what we have on hand, so it’s just a matter of finding what you have in your craft room. I have made these with straight cotton batting before, I just had to use a few layers of it. Good luck with this and I hope you have a great week.

[@5kristy71]

@@MariesScrappyCreations I also for to ask, how would you reduce the size to make smaller ones like the one you made out of scraps. Do you reduce length and the width.?

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

The smallest box that I made I used used 2 for each outer & lining pieces that were 7" across by 8" tall and I cut out a 1.5 inch square. The next size up I cut 8" across by 9" tall and cut a 1.25 inch square. Just cut all your interfacing and fusibles 1/4 inch shorter than each side. You can play around with it to get different heights and widths. Have fun!

I'm going to figure out the correct size to use these as boxes for my mug rugs.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

That's a great idea! There are so many uses for these!

[@encarnacionada2]

Super cute fabric box I'm planning making them I was thinking in making some handles to carry what ever items put in them 🤗🤔is this possible🤔🤗

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

It's absolutely possible. In fact, I almost did that with this tutorial, but then decided to keep it basic. My idea was ... instead of folding down the top, I was just going to put handles on each end. I hope that makes sense. Thank you so much!

[@sandradummer4726]

Marie, I just love these beautiful little baskets you’ve made. Did you have a pattern? And did you spray any starch in the fabric before starting cut?

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hi Sandra! No, I didn't have a pattern, although years ago when I first started making them, I either saw this on a blog or someone's video, I just don't remember. I tend to keep things like this in my head and just work out measurements to fit what I need them to at the time. I almost used some spray sizing, but I was worried that my interfacing wouldn't stick to it where I was using fusibles. I'm never sure if fusibles will stick after spray starch or sizing is on the fabric.

[@diannplatt-roberts8692]

I’ve never made a fabric box. Is it on my to do list, maybe not yet. My goal for October was to finish a quilt and put binding on one. Did I accomplish it. No, I started a new project instead.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Haha, I know that story all too well. I'll want to finish something and then I start something else or two somethings, haha. Have fun catching up, DiAnn!
