Exterior edge = 6
Thickness = 1 inch
Interior dimension = 6-1-1 = 4 because there are two walls so we need to subtract thickness of two walls

Volume of cloth that can be lines inside the box $$= 6*(4^2) = 96 inch^2$$

If the exterior edge of the cube is 6 inches and the thickness of the edge is 1 inch (on each side), then the interior edge of the cube is 4 inches. Thus we need 6 x 4^2 = 96 in^2 of cloth to line the inside of the cube.
