Okay, they don't look like much. This is immediately after sewing them and they look appallingly floppy and weird for something you have purposefully sewn. They take shape when you add the stiff bottoms, and sides. The bottoms pop in covered or plain. My bottoms are made of corrugated plastic because we had some on hand. The sides are of cardboard, a free to me material. You simply cut to size and slip the pieces in and fold the top of the sewing down.
They look really good on the shelf and they fill the need we had. Pens and paper in one, batteries in another, simple meds ( antacids, ibuprofen, that sort of thing ) in the third.
I have a couple more shelves to do. We need a place for potholders, and a few other things and a place for your basic household rag. And because we have room, a place for kitchen towels and dishcloths needing a wash to be kept till we have a load to wash. This last is going to be lined with some waterproof PLU fabric that I have.
Then I can do some sewing of my own. That is the part I am really looking forward to.
There was knitting in the day too. My Hacho yarn variation of a Lipstick sweater is what came to hand, so that is what got some love. It will get love a little later today too, but sewing first.
