Sewing Room Storage Boxes - Tutorial

Fabric is Peapod and Leaflet from the Modern Flora Collection. Baskets are lined with Herb.

Materials Needed for Large Storage Basket (finished size 12" wide x 16" deep x 10" high).

Materials needed for Small Basket (finished size 8" x 8" x 12") are shown in parantheses if different.:

1 yard of exterior fabric (1/2 yard for smaller basket) 1/2 yard of interior lining fabric
scrap of fabric for label holder
1 yard heavy stabilizer (1/2 yard for smaller basket) (I had the best luck with Super Heavy Stabilizer B0509, but you could also use Peltex 70 or Timtex. If you are unhappy with the stiffness of your basket after the basic shape is sewn, the instructions include a way to fix it with some additional interfacing.)
12" x 16" piece of closed cell foam
1 for bottom (8" x 12" for smaller basket)
22" of webbing for handles (I used 1 1/4" heavy duty cotton for baskets shown above)
12" of 3/8" Heat 'n Bond Ultrahold (for the label holder).
Glue to affix inside bottom to basket (Tacky Glue).

Comment by Mary Ann Brumfield on April 29, 2011 at 8:33am: When I made these they weren't sturdy enough, so I cut foam boards (like the ones you use to frame the backs of pictures) to fit and inserted them under the lining fabric and used spray adhesive to secure. Worked great and made them like pretty padded boxes.
