OOooh I never thought of making a fabric box before! These look great! Thanks for the ideas this month, they’re so inspiring!
What a fabulous resource you have created. It has taken me to blogs that I would never have found and I am so enjoying it. You have been most generous sharing with us all and I know I will refer to it constantly. I have already made something else from one of the blogs you have featured.
Thanks so much and thanks also to all the ladies who have allowed their great tutorial to be used

Thank you so much for posting these!
Love the boxes. Boxes make me feel more organized.
Wow–what lovely ideas! I think I have enough projects to last me a year — just finished the rag rug from early this month!
oh, I just love the snap box, I will be making that in the future.
Now boxes I can use! Thank you so much
Sew many great ideas. I would love these boxes for my daughter’s kitchen… cute way for her to put away her tea set or *food.* Thank you for more great links.
Great tutorials – love the one for trim boxes. I definitely need to make some of these
These are wonderful- the snap box is really charming!
You can never have to many boxes! Thank you for these wonderful tutorials.
I’ve never made a fabric box. What a fun idea!
I love the felt box idea. I have so many pieces of felt hanging around I could make a whole bunch for Christmas presents!

I love fabric boxes!!
They make perfect “man gifts.”
oh!!! I just LOVE these fabric boxes! The uses for them are unlimited! I’m thinking about making a few larger boxes to serve as baskets for gifts! And that snap box is perfect next to the sewing machine or for giving with a gift of jewelry!
I’ve added a bunch more fabric box tutorials on my blog… http://thedomesticdiva.wordpress.com if anyone is interested.
Love all the fabric choices today! Thanks for your continued inspiration!!!
With friendship,
Lisa
so many projects, so little time… holidays are approaching so fast! eek!
These all look great, thanks
i just bought some fabric boxes at ikea, but now want to make some myself.
Those boxes are so cute! And think of the gift baskets you could make for people in addition to the items you already made. So much fun.
oh and what about embroidering the boxes first? Now that will make an awesome gift!
With friendship,
Lisa
I just wanted to say that I feel so sad when I think about this month of sewing tutorials being almost over. I have enjoyed these little surprises each day and I thank you so very much for linking us to all these great blogs and tutorials. I have about a million PDFs saved on my computer, have subscribed to new blogs, and I have high hopes of trying out many of the patterns – I hoping to squeeze some in even before the holidays. Again, thank you!
I just love the one with the snaps!
i love these and had forgotten all about them. when i’m finally done with making christmas presents, i’m going to make myself a bunch of fabric boxes to organize my craft room.
the snap box is adorable!
The snap box is just the most cutest thing!!!!!!!!
Love these – thanks for posting them
I love this blog! I too am sad that the month is almost over, I have been looking forward to checking in everyday!
This is timely! As I really need to organize my notions! Thank you!
Another idea is to iron on laminate to create a box for Xmas goodies – cookies, fudge, etc. Any of these boxes would make such a cute alternative to paper wrapping and the recipient could reuse it too!
I am loving all the ideas on your site. The boxes are great! Thanks so much.
what a great gift to put more gifts in!!! my favorite is the felt bowl (i’ve made the snap bowl and LOVE it…use it for rolls at dinner time!) anyway…i’m going to be very sad tomorrow….!
It’s like you read my mind! I’m planning to make boxes for my in-laws who always seem to have things sliding around in the back of their car. Woo Hoo! Thank you.
Fabric boxes are so great!!! Thank you
THANK YOU sooooo much for these great instructions and the links to so many fabulous blogs.
Oh, I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo inpired and so grateful to have found y’all !!!!!!!!!
God bless,
Elaine
Imagine a fabric box sized to be filled with fat quarters… a perfect quilter’s gift!
What a unique idea! How fun!
I must make some of these sweet little felt boxes! TOO CUTE!
Of course – a fabric box is the ideal way to store all my fabric knick-knacks! I feel very sad that the month of tutorials is almost over….
Brilliant. Why did I never think of making fabric boxes before?
The tutorials have been so inspiring. Time to some projects done for Christmas. Looking forwrd to what you have in store for us in December. Eggnog anyone?
Nancy
I want someone to make those for me. Not that I can’t make them myself, but I want to find them wrapped up for me this year.
i love all these ideas! thanks!
These boxes are such great ideas! =]
Thank you for these wonderful tuturials – I’ve spent lots of wonderful hours browsing new blogs and getting inspiration for gifts. Keep up the great work and Happy Holidays!
Ooooooh, LOVE the boxes. I’ve been wanting to make fabric boxes for a while. I thought of doing ones that have ribbon ties at the corners, but I never thought of using snaps. I’ve also had a hankering to make a bunch of felt stuff–I need to go out and get some felt!
These look fabulous! Since I always have a hard time finding organiznig boxes that fit exactly into my shelves, I’ll be trying this one out soon.
I can so do a box! this looks great!
Okay, that snap box tutorial was one of the funniest I have ever read!! I can’t wait to make it. This may be the perfect way to get over my whole not liking to sew on snaps thing
Amanda
OOOH! This is my favorite list so far! I can’t wait to make fabric boxes for EVERYONE!
Ooh, I could make some of these to organize my studio.

I think I could need some Trim Boxes for my supplies…
I love these boxes. I can’t decide which one to make first.
Very creative! Great idea!
Way better than boring old gift bags!
