I found this tutorial for making a packing cube. My niece started a new job a couple of weeks before Christmas and it will include a significant amount of traveling. I thought this would be a perfect additional to her gear. This was suppose to be a Christmas gift but life got in the way and now it is a late Christmas gift. I did not use the fabric stated in the tutorial but chose to use a cute cotton print from my stash. This makes this a stash buster project. Now, to be honest, it could also be a scrap buster depending on the size of the scraps you keep hanging around. Here is the fabric that I chose for this project:
My niece loves cats (as did I) and I thought this would be the perfect fabric for a packing cube.
The tutorial uses a nylon fabric that does not ravel and I choice a cotton fabric. I really had to look carefully at the information and make changes as needed. Here is the finished project:
Another view of the fabulous fabric on the back.
A side view. This gives you an idea of how much more the packing cube could hold.
I did take the time to finish all the seams. It was time consuming but really a necessary step.
Overall, this was not a bad project. I am keeping the instructions so I can make additional packing cubes in the future.
Happy Stitching!
