I'm not sure why I consistently do this. I find patterns that have multiple sizes and then I make the smallest first. Why? The smallest is the hardest to make! You have tiny seams and have to make tiny turns with this big machine that has a sharp needle right next to your fingers. It's insanity, I tell you! And yet....I do it.
Anyway, I made the smallest desktop cube. I will work perfectly to sit on the windowsill in my tiny laundry room to hold the change that inevitably falls out of everyone's pockets.
I think it would look neater if the lining was a bit smaller. I should have made a 1/4 inch difference in the lining and the outer edge. It would have been a crisper final product. Note to self......
It's hard to tell from the photos but the back of the cube is slightly taller than the front so you get a nice look at the lining inside. I like that look. This is definitely a scrap buster particularly with the foam interfacing. I have a box of smaller pieces left over from making totes so I will definitely have another project to use those up.
Here's how it looks....
