I've been needing some more storage in our bathroom and thought fabric bins would be the ideal solution. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find bins I like. While I was at Hancock Fabrics last week, I saw this fabulous fabric and thought it would be perfect. (It wasn't, but that is a later part of the story.)

| I love this fabric...it is so beautiful. |
Isn't this fabric beautiful? I knew it would make beautiful storage bins.
 |
| This was the second bin I made...it came together so quickly and easily. |
I saw
this tutorial for making fabric bins from Make It and Love It and I decided it was actually doable. Honestly, it turned out to be a little more difficult than "beginner" level, but not so difficult that I was discouraged by it. Once I'd made the first box (following the super terrific instructions), the second box was a breeze.
 |
| This is the larger bin...it is the size the tutorial makes. |
It only took two evenings to get the boxes done. I am really pleased with how they turned out and, once I'd finished the first box, I understood exactly what I needed to do to change the dimensions to suit my space. Unfortunately, they just didn't look right in the space...darn it.
 |
| A different view of the first bin...I didn't put in a label pocket. |
That's okay, though, I've already thought of an alternative use for both bins. Even better, I found another fabric (a completely different style) that I'm getting ready to use for two more fabric bins.
 |
| I just love, love, love this fabric! |
So, what else can I do with this fabric? I love it that much. I'm racking my brains trying to come up with something I can do with it. Do you have any ideas?
