Tutorial: Small Fabric Basket

12 Feb

Here is a very basic tutorial that a good friend of mine designed for a very sweet little fabric basket.  Very quick and gratifying.  I used oilcloth for the outside and a cotton for the inside but it would be possible to use only cotton as well (or even nicer would be linen).  If using cottons or linens I would recommend using interfacing to make it stiff enough to stand up on it’s own.  The paper clips are used to avoid getting little pin holes in the plasticized material or oilcloth. Please let me know if I wasn’t clear on any of my instructions (I know the corner part is a bit hard to see in the photo).

    this is the best!! :) thanks for putting it up. Theres always use for little boxes in the house (Fra calls me box lady), sorting all those little things and looking cute at the same time. :D looks easy enough to put together too. (looking up what interfacing means or maybe i’ll just get me some pretty oilcloth)

    I am just beginning sewing but am going to try and make these in several different sizes, but I am having a hard time seeing the sewing of the corner? Can you explain it more or give a different picture?
