Materials Needed:
Fabrics and material:
Fabric:
Most light and medium weight wovens will work for a Bin Bin. For those pictured, quilting cotton, light canvas, yarn dyed linen/cotton and chambray fabrics were used. Heavier weight materials such as canvases or denims and twills can work and add a lot of sturdiness.
Stiffener:
Vinyl:
12 gauge matte vinyl is used on the clear Bin Bins and Label Holders. Vinyl can be found at many larger fabric stores. It is quite affordable so get the best you can find.
Yardage:
On each worksheet for each view, there is a rough yardage calculation to be completed once you finish the worksheet. Note that if your Bin Bin measurement around the perimeter will exceed the width of your material, you'll need to rotate the body pieces to run lengthwise rather than crosswise on your fabric. Grainline is NOT important for bins. It is only mentioned to plan for directional prints. Most border prints run along the selvage. If your fabric is directional, you can piece your Body pieces together with no bad consequences- only cuteness!
Notions:
* A fat quarter of fabric can yield 5.5 yds (5 m) of bias binding that measures 1.375" (35 mm) wide.
Here are some helpful videos to cut and sew your own bias binding:
