I found this great tutorial here for a fabric bucket. I didn’t know what I was going to use it for until I realized we had nowhere to put our controllers. So I whipped up this bucket to store them and it works great. I wanted to try out the bucket with scrap fabric first to be sure I liked it. And I did! I made a few changes as I’ll explain below.

I made the bucket larger so that I could store all the controllers so,

For each bucket you will need:
· 9 ½ x 18 ½ inch strips of outer fabric, light wadding and iron–on interfacing.
· 9 x 18 ½ inch strip of lining fabric (note it is a bit bigger so you get the nice trim at the top.
· Circles measuring 9 inches across in outer, wadding, interfacing and lining for the base.

I also did not use any wadding (batting) because I used the fleece lining. This actually worked great. However, I didn’t know that you cannot iron fleece until it burnt the fibers and made my iron blue. Don’t do that.

Also I didn’t have iron on interfacing so I used sew-in interfacing. This worked alright. I think it would have been an easier project if I didn’t have so many layers to control but it was still really quick.
