Sewing a storage cube by Debbie Shore

I'm so excited to have been nominated for a couple of awards, if you could take the time to vote I'd really appreciate it!www.sewmag.co....
I've been asked to make techniques videos showing how to sew in a bag base and make a cube, so this tutorial covers both! The cube is useful storage for anything from your sewing bits to toys, try making a few in different sizes!

I am making a bean bag cube for my grandson, he likes to lie on mine to watch tv. I remember watching this video ages ago and it will come in handy to make the corners look neat. I love your videos as I am teaching myself to sew and find them clear and easy to follow. It helps when I can pause them go and sew then come back. You inspire me to keep pushing myself as I can follow your instructions. Thank you.

[@susanpattison1936]

Teaching myself to sew using a machine and your step by step instructions really help. thank you.

[@kaybutcher5719]

Sewing tutorials where we can actually see you sewing while constructing the item is so much more helpful to beginners than skipping that part of it entirely. I think it must be part of the idea of seeing it in your mind or visualization of learning that gives confidence to try something new. Thank you for including that in your tutorials.

[@debbieshore]

Glad to be of help!

[@gordon4036]

Ive made this storage cube with handles this afternoon. Its for my grand daughter when she arrives. Thank you

[@kathrynthompson3276]

Debbie you are brilliant - you make your projects as if MOST of us could create these items. I so much enjoy watching, and learning from your views. Thank you so much

[@kimberlyburns762]

Finished it., My hubby said “perfect” I said I have a good teacher! Thanks again for another fun project.

[@beatricecollins5429]

Thank you so very much for this tutorial, Debbie. I made two of them for our grandsons, and they both love them. Your videos are always delightful and so easy to follow. Happy days.

[@susanburnett8284]

Clear and easy to follow video. I don't sew but want some of these boxes so you've inspired me to have a go!

[@cherylealton7509]

Debbie I sure hope you are aware of just how Special you are to All of us out here. Your teaching skills are Fabulous. Thank you so much

[@debbieshore]

Thanks!

[@deenagle6595]

was researching how to make a bag for myself, and came across your videos. I only have a basic singer machine and not a huge amount of experience, but i loved your video and now feel confident enough to make one. Thank you so much for helping me find a new found interest.

[@johannechampagne9007]

Debbie, you are just so absolutely adorable. Watching your videos makes me happy. Thank you for sharing your time and your special talents and skills with all of us.

[@debbieshore]

[@ameliaapetersen2198]

Your tutorials ate excellent and your dogs make them special all ways a smile

[@karenstocks2623]

I've made my first one Debbie this morning in pink It's come out amazing I love making these ty.for the great tutorial x

[@lydiarose2981]

Hi Debbie I have voted for you in the awards. You are my favourite, your teaching skills are fabulous and I have purchased several of your books, which have helped me no end on my sewing journey. I sincerely hope that you win and I wish you the best of luck x

[@debbieshore]

Thank you so much!

[@DuluthTW]

These boxes are so easy to make and have endless uses. Thanks for sharing!

[@robbycook4364]

Debbie - thank you for such clear instructions on how to insert the bottom of this cube. You make it look so easy and do-able. I now realise what I've been doing wrong for so long. :) Light bulb moment, indeed! You have an exceptional instructional style - so easy to watch and listen to. Makes me want to keep watching and get sewing!

[@debbieshore]

Thanks Robby!

[@angelheart1430]

You are such an amazing teacher. Because of you I have dared making projects I would of other wise never attempted, and completed them. Stumbling upon your channel was one of the best things I've ever done. Do you ever work with flannel? Every time I try nothing matches up, even after washing, drying and starching the fabric, grrrrr, I'm doing something wrong. Thank you Debbie. Blessings, Suzee

[@eleonoreloundermon2372]

Deb, I love to watch your projects. Simple and so actually done. Thank you

[@clarejoseph2712]

Hi Debbie, you are not onky excellent at sewing but also with your instructions for each project. I admire your style and presentation and your pets too.

[@debbieshore]

Thank you Clare!

[@kathymintexas1556]

I used this video as a guide to make a cover for a storage box (an upside down cube). I had to add zipper for some access, but otherwise the same. I couldn't have done it without your guidance. Thank you Debbie.

[@carolmarsden1079]

Lovely,, iv have a little grandaughter 5 months old ,, she's getting lots of toys already so the cube is perfect storage ,, as always I do enjoy watching,, I get my coffee ready then I'm there with you watching you sew,, x

[@debbieshore]

Thanks for joining me!

[@KnitLoveHK]

The cloth looks so beautiful. And the pattern looks so special. The video is detail and clear. It's a great tutorial and like it.

[@rebeccafoster-faith688]

I love that you describe it with panels instead of 1 or 2 pieces of fabric. Seems so much less wasteful! Also I can use my leftover batting/wadding and end up with a nice open basket for storage.

[@jessicakelly7131]

Thank's Debbie, I used your tutorial as a guide to make some 9" x 7" boxes without handles and turned the inside down the outside an inch. Then filled them with sweeties for Christmas Presents. Did a 6" x 7" inch as well. See three and a half years later and folks still watch your tutorials. I only recently started sewing and my first project was your tote bag with the outside zipped pocket and zip along the top of bag. My great-Niece soon snaffled it for herself. Many many thanks if you read this. i find you the best tutor on here x Oh still looking for the caplet jacket video, I bought the pattern and it says on the front you have a video of how to make it, but maybe it was deleted?

[@soniatonks]

Ahhh lovely to see Bobbin in the sewing room, she is really good isn't she, bless her. Hello Debbie lol. Great vid, lovely fabric, I'm going to get the boxes bug I just know it!! Thank You

[@debbieshore]

She's an angel... apart from chewing the occasional shoe1

[@WillowZan]

Debbie, You ROCK!!! Love that you sew with your animals, as mine are always in my sewing room also!

[@debbieshore]

Ooh I've never been told O rock before! Cool!

[@marshapadayachee8340]

Thank you Debbie. You make it so easy to understand, especially for a beginner like me. Going to make my bag now.

[@karenmarshall8354]

Debbie,. I really like it. And again, you've made it look so easy. Great instructions. Thank you

[@lindadaniels6055]

OMG, as soon as I started watching this tutorial, I thought about the cube storage unit that I have in my sewing room, wondering what color fabric cubes I could buy to best match the room and realizing how easily that I could make them myself, just made me so happy ! Not even 2 minutes into your instruction., I hit the like button, but wasn't planning to comment until I read some comments already made, found that others were already on the same page and had to comment also! Thank you Debbie, you are wonderful , Linda D.

[@debbieshore]

Hi Linda, thank you so much! So glad you liked it!

[@lindalardner3745]

I did it Debbie ! Just finished.no doubt not as neat as yours but first attempt I'm more than happy with all thanks to your brilliant instructions.i would love for my old needlework teacher to see what I am now capable of as I was always the slowest in the class in the 1960s!

[@debbieshore]

Yay! That showed her!

[@kellyhipkins5616]

Omg I so wish I lived close I'd take lessons. Just so thankful for your videos

[@ElizabethRamirez-zq4oe]

[@debbieshore]

No problem! Glad you liked it!

[@patriciapaish8174]

It great to see you back on KZbin. Please keep them coming. Have missed you.

[@debbieshore]

I'll try! Thanks

[@annroche3762]

Another Brilliant Cube Bag tutorial. Thank You so much Debbie xx

[@Obsidian_Iris_]

I have wanted to learn to sew since I was a very young girl, probably in large part due to my obsession with fashion as an adolescent. That was a few decades ago. A few years back I bought a machine and supplies, some beginner books, watched several amateur KZbin tutorials, and attended a few Meetup classes, but still lacked the understanding of the skill to have the confidence to do more than stitch a few straight lines on a test piece of fabric. I need to truly understand the underlying theory behind a topic before I can really dedicate myself to it. The few people I knew who were good at sewing on a machine absolutely despised the idea of teaching it to anyone. Every single one! I began to think sewing couldn’t possibly be as enjoyable and satisfying as I had always imagined. I found you and one other professional sewist ( Liesl Gibson ) on KZbin within a day of each other; you are both such superb teachers I now can’t wait to get started! I finally understand sewing as a whole and all of the subjects you and she have presented. I especially appreciate your tutorial on how to piece together long strips of bias tape. My interest in sewing these days is centered on a desire to make mostly arts and craft projects and I foresee using a lot of it. Thank you again for sharing your talent for sewing and your gift for teaching.

[@debbieshore]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate this, and am glad to have been of help!

[@2847Katie]

Thank you for the clarification on the bottom. I have struggled for so long with the bottoms. That is so very easy! Thanks for another great video!!!

[@maplelassuk]

Debbie, I say the same as Cheryle Alton, you are very special in the way you teach us all, this was SO easy to understand. I can't believe this tutorial came up as I have been 2 days making three of your cubes from the Half Yard Home book and really struggled with the bases. I think I messaged about this too and asked for a tutorial on cubes!!! I love this one with the handles, and look forward to my next ones with less struggle..and handles!! Thank you so much again, you are a joy to watch. Elizabeth♥

[@debbieshore]

Thank you so much!

[@maplelassuk]

Debbie, I made another cube and couldn't believe how easy the base was, I am so chuffed!! I just followed you along and best tip was not to worry about ahead, just what was under the needle...that helped immensely as well as where to pin. Thank you again. E😊

[@gaynorandrews1684]

Great idea to sew the corners outside like that. Thanks. I'll do that next time. Brilliant clear tutorial. Thank you Debbie Shore. And hope little Bobbin is keeping you busy 😆

[@debbieshore]

Oh yes! We're just off for a walk in the sunshine before it gets too hot!

[@tracybrewer8237]

Really love the bag behind you on the body form. Beautiful

[@brendaeves3236]

Another great video, thank you. These are so clear and easy for me to follow as I sew along with your instructions.

[@annetonks1404]

Wow wow you make it look sew easy and the video is clear as if I am looking over your shoulder. Thank you

[@debbieshore]

Glad it was helpful!

[@cc83jc85]

you explained it so well, especially (I didnt know) to leave a small gap in the lining for the turning around! Thank you, Marietta Brisbane Australia

[@debbieshore]

Glad it helped!

[@wandalause5018]

thank you for showing this I think the only thing I could have used was actually to show how to turn the bag inside out I know a lot of people probably already know how to do that but it would have been helpful but thank you again and I did not realize they were so easy to make

[@margarethulbert7242]

Yes, I thought I'd missed something there and had to rewind to make sure that she didn't show that bit!!

[@eym773]

This is so pretty….I’ll try to follow your directions… Thank you for sharing your ideas

[@944gemma]

Another great video. I will definitely be making some of these. Give a big hug to Bobbin.

[@debbieshore]

She's duly hugged!

[@darbyrd3539]

Hello Debbie this is dar from N.J. I love this tutorial. I like all of them especially the tote bags. Thank you

[@margiecastonguay517]

You are fabulous I have learned so much from you and have made a crazy lot of bags , but I would love to do a square train case in the one who asked the question about it thank you so much debbie for your expertise....learning from you is a joy

[@FrauK]

So glad you made this tutorial! Never knew it was só easy to make cube baskets; especially the bottom of these. Tuvm!

Glad you liked it!

I only found you today Debbie (07/02/22) but thank you, your way of teaching is so gentle and straight forward. I'm going to try the cubes & thread catcher/pin cushion asap. If successful I'm going to make cubes for a personalised box for baby shower bits n bobs. X

[@debbieshore]

Thanks, glad you like the project!

[@maryclaussen3006]

You are just wonderful. Thank you for sharing your talents.

[@zahrat.rangwalla6272]

Hi Debbie your videos are amazing I made actually a cuboid bag and it turned out great it's for my daddy for when he has to go for prayers but it's my first time stitching a bag and it's my forth time stitching something but your a great teacher thanks Debbie 😘😘

[@debbieshore]

Glad you liked it!

[@penelope-oe2vr]

I have a ton of 13" storage cubes up around my house. I'm going to use your tutorial to make these to fit inside of them. I will use upcycled fabrics from around the house. I also am going to use stiffer interfacing. I have plenty around because I am learning to make wallets and handbags. Guess I will have to start looking for upcoming interfacing sales ;) this would be good to use old jeans for as well, you could put the pocket on the outside and use the wristbands as handles

[@melissawoods3842]

Love your videos. So easy to understand and to follow.

[@jeanwheeler5957]

You make everything look so fun love your show

Glad to have helped!

[@TriciaMaestre]

Love your video's Debbie!! This one is my new favorite but I also really love your Roman Blind video and the hand bag with a zipper and pockets. You have such a great way of demonstrating and explaining. Friends and family are always so impressed with the things I learn from you.

[@debbieshore]

Thanks Tricia!

[@lindakochis5476]

Love the cube, just finished the sewing machine cover ( looking to make one to match for my sewing room) from your tutorial (used the bosal ) so sewing round the corners with this liner should be a breeze. Thanks again goer another great idea! The cover is awesome!

[@debbieshore]

Glad you liked it Linda!

[@susanrichey6039]

Debbie, I love to watch you because you are calming and relaxing, and your work is beautiful. I watched this because I want to make a professional looking zipper pillow. But I think I may try this weaving technique as well. Thank you ❤

[@debbieshore]

Thank you!

[@veessayin2878]

Just a fantastic video, and the bag is adorable! Well done!

[@katydevitt586]

Thanks so much Debbie for such a clear straightforward tutorial ,will be making some of these asap .thanks again ,you are amazing.

[@karengill6214]

I love this idea! Thanx for sharing will definitely be making a bunch of these both to use as storage in my craft room, make a slightly bigger one for the babies toys and maybe make some to use as part of my baby gift packs the parents can reuse the bag for whatever! 😉

[@michellebelfon8065]

Thank you for your time. I have learnt so much from you.

Can I tell you how talented you are?! Thank you so much! I'm gonna make these for each my granddaughter's rooms. Beautiful!

[@debbieshore]

Thanks Tina!

[@WillowbyWotzit]

Thank you for the tutorial Debbie, I'm turning my dining room into a craft room & have bought one of the cubed storage units from IKEA. Now I can make my own boxes instead of paying £8 for a fabric cube & it'll match. Hope that you are well take care xx

[@debbieshore]

I did the same in my sewing room, they look se pretty on the shelves!

[@Happybidr]

Maxine Piper This is so funny. I just did literally the exact same thing you did! I bought a lot of the Skubb teal/light blue or white (I think that is the correct name) products for some consistency in my closed shelving which we had installed and it looks wonderful. But I do want to make some of these to add in on the open shelves and take good advantage of the gorgeous quilt fabrics that I've bought. I could stare at them all day long!

[@WillowbyWotzit]

Happybidr I didn't realise it was in one of the books - but I prefer a video lol. Yes I'll be hopefully using some of my stash but then saying that, it'll be an excuse to buy more lovely fabric hehe 😈 xxx

[@angievasquez2988]

Ok

[@cazza0075]

Thank you! Delighted with my first one made for a dog rescue bazaar.

[@Sewlady718]

I've been trying to organize my fat quarters and these cubes are perfect. Thanks for another great video. I always wrestle with the square bottoms, but this technique is easy and it works! I never miss one of your videos. Know what you mean about the dog on the foot pedal. I usually have a dog there and a cat who likes to play with my threads.

[@debbieshore]

Welcome to my world! One of my cats is sleeping in a box of fabric as we speak!

[@mistybob7334]

Hi debbie, your must have read my mind, I have just bought sew useful book and kept looking at the storage cube, now I have watch you I will give it a go for all my material I buy but not use because I like it too much lolx

[@debbieshore]

Enjoy! Try buying two lots of fabric, one to use and one to look at!

[@eileend5025]

This is a nice idea. Made one today, easy and quick. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@Lilyflowers659]

There you are Debbie, great to find you whilst I relax and watch sewing ideas thank goodness 😁🐋🌻

[@carmenpohl6061]

Very handy. We've got a UFO club. This will be perfect to store unfinished objects and carry the different projects to the club. I will make this ones in different sizes as gift wrappers as well. Thank you for the demonstration

[@hemaliarachchige7788]

I need fabric boxes for my grand child who will be born by may. Thankyou foryour clear teaching.

[@lindadechow2212]

Oh cute! I may try something different, like a cardboard insert inside, just for fun and to see how that would look in my craft room.. I think your tutorial was great, thanks.

[@debbieshore]

That's a great idea!

[@laurajones4088]
