Does this fabric look familiar? It is leftovers I had after I made the Sweetpea pods. I was at a card swap yesterday, (more on that later this week), and I used this cute basket for holding my cards. It holds 20 cards, who knew!!
Be sure to check out The Fabric Shop when you are in Gander, Newfoundland. They have a great selection of fabric, classes and notions.
I made this to put next to my sewing machine for all my tech stuff- I love to listen to instrumental music while I sew. It helps me to focus on the task, and block out the distractions…like cooking and cleaning. Who has time for that when there is a sewing project on the table?
I created this basket using 2- 10″ squares and 1-10″ square of fusible batting.
I quilted the outer layer and batting in straight lines on the diagonal.
Then RST I sewed around, leaving a 2″ opening to turn it RSO. Edge stitch making sure to catch the opening.
To create the corners fold in half with RST and mark a 2″ triangle on the bottom of each corner, sew.
Fold in opposite direction and repeat. Turn RSO and fold flaps down. I attached mine with daisy buttons.
Here is a great tutorial from Seaside Stitches
