first fabric box
I made my first box and put a square of heavy cardboard covered with the outside fabric down in the bottom to give it more stability. Next time, I will use the plastic canvas. Any other suggestions. I made the 12" size. The only problem I had was that the wrong fabric came out as the outside. Will have to practice. I do love the pattern. Will post picture later. On to my Bee this morning.

when i made mine into a bread basket, i was tempted to put a tile on the bottom. years ago i had one that allowed you to heat the tile, put it in, and that helped keep the rolls warm. i'm thinking, now, though, that the tile might be too heavy for the fabric basket... my other one was wooden.

Is this a pattern somewhere on this site? This looks really cute! Would be great for wrapping presents. Most of my friends/family are "into" reusable gift packaging that we all use over and over so it'd be worth the time/fabric investment.

I buy $1 placemats ( the foam like plastic ones) and used them in the bottom of my purses and they would work great in the bottom of the boxes.
