Select, measure and cut out your fabrics. You will need the below measurements:

4 x Outer 13.5cm (width) x 19cm (height) rectangles

1 x Outer 13.5cm x 13.5cm square

4 x Inner 13.5cm (width) x 19cm (height) rectangles

1 x Inner 13.5cm x 13.5cm square

Press your fabrics.

Cut and iron on your interfacing as per the packet instructions to your inner layer fabric shapes. Each piece will need to be cut 1cm smaller than each shape for seam allowances.

For the larger box, you will also need to do this for your outer layer to provide extra strength. The smaller boxes do not require this.

We will start by sewing your inner sides together.

Length ways and right sides together sew up one height side. Then add your next rectangle and sew up the height side again until you have all 4 rectangles together in a row.

Fold the sides together so that you join it into a cube and sew up this height side.

You are now ready to attach the bottom part of your box!

Sew your bottom square piece on to your now formed cube with a 1cm seam allowance.

Secure your threads and now get ready to sew your outer piece.

Repeat the same with your outer fabric pieces and then turn out the right way.

Insert your inner layer inside your outer layer.

Fold both your inner and outer layers inwards with enough room to stitch around at the top. Pin in to position to secure.

Sew around the top in a stitch of your choice and secure your threads.

Fold your tops outwards to reveal the contrast inner!

Et voila! Fabric storage box: done!
