Shallow Fabric Box Pattern for Organization with the Cricut Maker

Welcome to See Kate Sew! If you’re new here, sign up for my email newsletter for access to free patterns, tutorials and all the latest sewing news! Tour my sewing room HERE!

This post, Fabric Box Pattern, is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Cricut. The opinions and text are all mine.

It all sparks joy! But it’s still a good time to spring clean your sewing space! These fabric boxes will give you a ‘home’ for all of your little sewing supplies. I use a lot of shallow Ikea drawers in my sewing room and they can be pretty big – things get lost! So to really KonMarie them, breaking the space up into little shallow boxes is helping me stay organized! I cut the fabric with the Cricut Maker which takes the stress out of cutting a pattern and all the edges are super crisp. No dealing with paper patterns and no cutting by hand! Then I added sewing themed phrases with 2 layers of iron-on vinyl to make them extra fun and bright. These are made with basic cotton so you can find something in your stash or use black and white for a modern look! Let’s get sewing (and organizing!)
I used a layer of Cricut Felt inside, which I also cut on the Maker! Cricut has nice felt – it’s sturdy, thin and great for interfacing! I’ve used it before for felt flowers and llama pillows. It’s really fun to cut felt out on the Maker because it gives you perfect edges!
The cheeky phrases are iron-on vinyl and are perfect for crafters! I included all 6 in this tutorial so you can mix and match!

For each box, cut out 1 fabric piece from black fabric, one from white fabric, and 1 from felt. Change the material from fabric to felt to make sure the settings are correct. The Cricut Maker comes equipped with the Rotary Blade and it will cut both materials like butter!

Peel off the excess fabric.

Repeat with black!

And felt!

Layer the black fabric face UP on the felt.

The put the white fabric face DOWN on the black fabric. 

Pin and sew around all the edges, leaving a 2″ opening on one of the long straight edges of the box.

Trim and clip corners and trim seam allowance.

Turn right side out and press. Sew the opening closed with a topstitch on the machine.

Use the EasyPress to fuse the black vinyl down first.DIY Cheeky Fabric Boxes | DIY Fabric Boxes | DIY Shallow Boxes | Sewing Room Organization Tips | Cricut Projects || See Kate Sew #cricut #organization #seekatesew

Once it is cool, layer the second color on top, offset just a little bit!DIY Cheeky Fabric Boxes | DIY Fabric Boxes | DIY Shallow Boxes | Sewing Room Organization Tips | Cricut Projects || See Kate Sew #cricut #organization #seekatesew

Now fold the corners up with the inside layers touching and sew to create a dimensional box.DIY Cheeky Fabric Boxes | DIY Fabric Boxes | DIY Shallow Boxes | Sewing Room Organization Tips | Cricut Projects || See Kate Sew #cricut #organization #seekatesew

    I cannot find this in design space. I looked under sewing and searched for cheeky fabric boxes and searched again for just boxes and nothing came up that was this project. Any suggestions of how to find it?

    thank you

    What would you recommend as a replacement for the felt if you do not have a cricuit?

      You can still use any kind of felt or a thick interfacing :)
