This is a sewing tutorial for a washable storage box 8"x8" (20.5 x 20.5cm). The cardboard is removable so you can wash the fabric when needed. Follow the measurements for your project to be successful. #sewing #diy #storage box
i've spent years trying to find boxes that would fit my bookshelf, and I haven't been able to find them in any material! I only today realized I could probably pull out my sewing machine and make them myself, and this was the second video I found, and the most helpful! This is going to be a great way to use some of the fabric I haven't been sure what to do with too.
Great concept! I have some shelves that i can't find fitting storage boxes for at all. I need something that is either easy to dust or washable and this is just perfect. I was thinking too complicated, no need for zippers or washable stabilizer layers if you just fold over the edges, so easy.
It's fantastic, right? I can make quite a few for my Ikea 'cube' shelves, with any fabric/washable covers!! I can't wait to get started..I'm ridiculously excited about this project!! 😂😂😂
You are correct. The width of the largest pieces should be 89 cm. (22.5 + 22 + 22 + 22.5) The cm measurements are slightly larger than the inches, probably so the measurements are not too strange. It's just a box so people should be able to figure out what size they need. Easily adjusted.
@RainorShine1 hope this helps Width of cardboard=WC Height of cardboard=HC Formula for width of both fabrics (in inches): (WC x 4) + 1.5” Formula for height of lining: HC + 2 7/8” (I would do 3” since it’s easier to see on a ruler) Formula for height of exterior: HC + 2”
Thinking of doing this for my laundry room storage using old fabric scraps rather than buying mass-made-in-China baskets from a shop. Thanks for the idea!
I've tried to make this and measurements don't add up. Fabric is supposed to be 86:5 long, ithen you divide that into sections 2@22cm and 2@ 22:5 =89cm. Please tell me I got this wrong. I've measured so many times it's doing my head in HELP!!! 😅
Thank you! For each side just add the same measurement. For example if you want the box to be 10” wide (2” wider then the original), the first measurement would be 10 1/2” (instead of 8 1/2”) and the next 2 measurements will be 10 1/4” (instead of 8 1/4”), last 10 1/2. Hope that helps!
Boa noite, adorei a aula, vou tentar fazer, nao tenho maquina de costura ainda. Eu estou de boca aberta com essa caixa que maravilha, eu nao entendia como era essas caixas kkk eu sou principiante é assim mesmo. Obrigada por compartilhar esta ideia. Já me escrevi no seu canal.
Yes, it will only be wasting stuff every time you wash it, or change the cardboard if it gets bent, and takes literally 3 minutes to cut an extra bit, and sew them together! Toodleloo..off to start sewing!
How do I cut the fabric to the 33.5 x 10 7/8? My fabric is 21 inches wide. Do I just cut a line at 10 7/8 and then again at 33.5 and just repeat that for each box I’m making?
