THE THREE CONTAINERS
You see these cute fabric containers all over the internet, on
blogs, on Pinterest, even in books. My
plan was to make some of these fabric containers which should go together
rather quickly. Some of the ones I've
seen are made from linen with cotton lining.
I had a few remnants of home dec fabric and decided to go with
this.
The first one is made with no interfacing, thinking the home dec fabric would hold up. But, it is too soft. (never mind that it upside down with directional fabric)
The next one is made a tad smaller using heavy weight (maybe even extra heavy weight) fusible
interfacing. And, it is too hard. Besides I don't like the size. (but it was right side up)
The third one is using a mid weight fusible interfacing. And, it is just right.
Since I was on such a roll, I made three more all just right.
And, they are convertible.
By the way, the "too soft" container inside out is
right side up. Oh, I so meant to do that. Ha! Now what are they going to contain?
Have a good weekend and
Quilt happy,

They look great! All of them! Did you make the pattern up yourself? I should make myself a few of these.
They are some good looking containers, Marilyn! They are going to contain ... ummmm... sewing stuff! yep, maybe some fabric scraps!
hugzzzz...lol!!!
Those are really wonderful. I think they would make great scrap baskets on the sewing machine - stylish and functional.
Lovely containers, and of course you meant to do that softie one. It's a design element!
Oh they are wonderful!

I am laughing over here, you just can't make one.....they are wonderful!
