    Create stacking boxes

    1. Download the templates. Use the pattern to cut the fabric pieces as described in the cutting guide. Snip all notches as indicated on the pattern.

    2. Stitch up the four corners of the storage box, with a 1cm seam allowance and press. Take the box sides buckram piece and fold along the lines indicated on the pattern, pressing to acheive a crisp edge. Sew the two ends together, allowing a 1cm seam and press open.

    3. Place the buckram inside the box. Temporarily secure the buckram and cotton together by tacking or pinning. Take a length of binding and pin it all the way around the top edge, trapping both fabrics inside. Overlap the ends, then machine stitch in place.
