You need some fabric scraps and interfacing scraps. The best interfacing is the one fusible on both sides. You can use interfacing fusible on one side or even batting. In this case, stitch/quilt the pieces to keep the layers together.
It is easier to prepare a large fabric/interfacing piece then to cut out the smaller pieces. But the technique works fine with scraps too.
The sturdiness/firmness of the bowl depends on how sturdy/firm the interfacing is.
I like to use Fast2Fuse, is fusible on both side and comes in light and heavy weight. The heavyweight stuff works great for big items (toy boxes...). The bowl below is made with single side fusible interfacing- Vilene S520.
Depending on the type of your interfacing, fuse /stitch a piece of interfacing between 2 pieces of fabric.
Then cut out 7 hexagons.
Join the pieces with a close zigzag stitch and be sure you catch both edges. Use the widest
and closest zigzag stitch you can make with your machine. Backstitch at the start and end of each seam.
Backstitch at the start and end of the seam. What you see here is the outside of the box.

Geta, te quedó maravilloso el tutorial!!! gracias por las explicaciones tan buenas. Un beso
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Fantastic tutorial.
ReplyDeleteMuy bonito y muchas gracias por el tutorial.
ReplyDeleteThis method is how I have made some boxes, like your earlier tutorials. But I think the older method, where you zigzaged all around first before joining is better. Some that I did this way (trying to save time, and thread) have come apart at the seams.
ReplyDeleteVery nice tutorial and it looks pretty simple to make too.
ReplyDeleteGeta, muito obrigada por esse tutorial, muito bem explicado!
ReplyDeleteVou fazer uma peça e te mostrarei uma foto quando estiver pronta, pois adorei!
Um grande abraço,
