Materials

  • 1/2 yd - each two coordinating fabrics
  • 1/2 yd of mid-weight fusible interfacing
  • Coordinating thread

Instructions

  • Cut one 11 inch by 13 inch rectangle from each fabric and one from the fusible interfacing.
  • Iron the interfacing onto the outside fabric.
  • With right sides together, fold the fabric in half and sew the sides.
  • Open and place one of the side seams against the bottom line to create a point.
  • Mark a dot from the tip  of the corner to 1/2 the total width desired.
  • Draw a line at the dot with a ruler to make sure the distance equals your desired width.
  • Sew along the line and then cut off the corner.
  • Turn right side out.
  • Complete the same steps for the outside fabric.
  • Set the outside fabric with the interfacing inside the lining fabric bin.
  • Make sure the right sides are facing, the wrong side of the liner is on the outside, and the interfacing is on the inside.
  • Match side seams and edges and pin together.
  • Leaving a 2-3 inch opening, sew the top edges together.
  • Turn the fabrics right side out and pin the opening closed.
  • Top stitch along the edge.
  • Fold over edge about one inch and your fabric caddy is complete.
