This quilt tutorial was created by Aoife H. who just started quilting this year.  Make sure to check out her blog to get the detailed instructions on how she crafted this beautiful quilt. 

 

 

Using pre-cut quilt squares is of great advantage to both beginners and experts as it saves a lot of cutting time. 

 

Furthermore, purchasing pre-cut fabric squares offers you usually a variety of designs, most of them from the same collection or color coordinated.  That saves money as you do not have to purchase all thd designs by the yard. 

 

Aoife used different fabric collections for this first quilt of hers and look how wonderful all the various colors and prints go together. 

 

Let's give it up for Aoife for having the courage to make this quilt! 

 

Job well done, Aoife.

We partnered up with Diane from In My Own Style to bring you this Fabric Covered Box Tutorial.  Make sure to check out Diane's Blog as she brings some fantastic tutorials that you will absolutely love. 

 

With the holiday season approaching, it's time to think of some DIY gift tutorials that are super fun and budget friendly.  These fabric covered boxes are a gift within themselves but of course, you can fill them will all kinds of goodies. That's like receiving a gift within a gift.  The boxes are reusable for the recipient and eco-friendly.  Who would not love that? 

 

Fabric used for the featured turquoise colored boxes are from Annette Tatum.  This Collection is the Mod Collection by Annette Tatum. 

 

 

Supplies Needed for this tutorial:

Fabric

Boxes (shoe box style with separate lid and bottom)

Spray Glue

Scissor

Ruler

Pencil

Optional: white glue and paint brush

 

 

 

1. Measure the bottom and the sides of your box.  Add 1 inch to each side and cut your fabric accordingly. 

 

2. Spray the bottom of your box with spray glue.  Once glue is tacky, place it on top of your pre-cut fabric (left side of the fabric up).  Align your ruler along one side of the box so it extends beyond the edge (see picture 2).  Draw a line long the edge of the ruler and cut along the line.  You will have a flap that will be the exact width of the box. 

 

3. Repeat drawing and cutting for the other 3 corners (pictures 3 & 4)

 

4.  Spray glue on the 2 long sides of the box. Once glue is tacky, bring the fabric sides up and wrap excess around the short side of the box.  Use your scissor to cut a straight line from the edge of the fabric to the box corner.  Tuck and adhere excess fabric to the inside of the box (pictures 5 & 6).

 

 

Once the two long sides are done, bring the fabric flap on the sides up and adhere. 

 

 

Note: If the fabric on the edge of the flap is fraying, you can use some white glue along the edge of the fabric edge.  White glue will dry clear and will prevent your fabric from fraying. 

 

Voila, you are done!  Happy Crafting!

Step 8:  Insert the pre-measured elastic by using a safety pin. Be sure that the elastic does not twist. Overlap elastic ends 1 inch and sew a square to secure ends together. Slip a fabric tag in the opening, then finish stitching the waistband casing closed.
