Tutorial: Collapsible fabric organizer box with zippered base

February 7, 2016 by Anne Weaver

Every time I go to IKEA, I get a set of SKUBB boxes. The fabric organizing boxes have zippers down the middle that allows them to store flat when not in use. Who can’t always use more of those in the house, amiright? Well, the latest post in the Zip a Bag series at Ikat Bag shows how to make my own collapsible fabric boxes with a zippered base. Oh, yes! Now I can have collapsible storage boxes in whatever size I want, in whatever fabric I want!
