Bubble Pods No Need To Hang These Crafty Fabric Baskets

Quilting Cubby | November 2, 2025 | Fabric Baskets, Sewing Room

Made From Just 2 Fat Quarters.

These cute little pods can be used for almost anything around the home. Designed to sit on a flat surface with no need to hang them up. The wide opening shows everything that’s inside at a glance, while being super attractive on the shelf. Make one or a set, the baskets are fun to make. No-one can resist a peek inside.

Adding quilting to the outer panels can completely transform the look and texture of your pods giving the pods a more structured feel. Before assembling, simply quilt your chosen fabrics to a layer of lightweight batting or fusible fleece. This not only adds stability but also enhances the pod’s soft, rounded shape. Even simple quilting lines such as diagonal crosshatching, vertical stripes, or gentle curves.

Play with stitches and thread colors. A subtle tone-on-tone thread creates a classic, understated finish, while contrasting thread adds a modern pop of personality. Free-motion quilting or decorative stitches can turn each pod into a tiny work of art. It’s a wonderful opportunity to use leftover quilt batting from larger projects or to experiment with new quilting techniques.

Since the pods are small, the quilting process is quick. You can see the texture take shape in minutes. A project that fits perfectly into an afternoon

Match two fat quarters for each basket and come up with all sorts of combinations. Make them for bathrooms and kids rooms, and the most delightful gifts, besides being great fun to make. You won’t stop at one after the first, you’ll love how easy they finish up.
