I have come back to this video several times the past 2 yrs. I see some fabric that would work so well as gifts, like chicken or farm, that made an excellent container to hold eggs gathered from the chicken coop. I gotta confess that I thought trying a stiffer craft fusion would be impressive and stand up very rigid. Well, turning the bag was almost impossible but I finally got it. I also want to mention that when using a directional print like dogs, cars etc the folding up and sewing sides left the back with upside down dogs, cars etc. I have learned to cut in half, flip upside down and sew together when working with a directional fabric. It then has the finished bag all in the right direction.

Finally a lovely tutorial for beginners to follow. No rushing just a wonderful soft slow walk through on how to make a fabric basket. Thank you

Just keep saying….”outside inside, inside outside, then right sides together”….that’s how I remember when making lined items. 👍🏻👵🏻💕

I have found that if I press the top seam before putting lining inside the outer it’s easier to keep fabrics from rolling .

I’ve been wanting to make some of these as gifts. Looks simple enough for me.

I have not sewn in 20 years. I received a sewing machine for Christmas. Today I used your easy to follow step by step video to make a basket. Quick and easy. Thank you so much for sharing!

One of these little baskets filled with matching fabric coasters would make a great gift!

@michaelbalogh5976 5 years ago

Thank you. I have just made one for my 91 year old mother-in-law who is in an Aged Care Facility. It will be great for her to keep all sorts of bits and pieces in. Made it with tea cup and saucer fabric as she really likes her cuppas! Louise

I have been looking for an easy tutorial to be able to make these baskets. Yours was the best. And the confusing part that you spoke of you walked us through it very carefully. Thank you.

Great video!! Thanks🩷

@marywoolley5300 5 years ago

I love the way that you admit to messing up but then redeem yourself with a mini version which looks just great 👍🏽

@morganlipoufski3626 7 months ago

I love the step by step in this video. I love that you take a little slower place because I struggle a bit with directions

@carolynhupfield3738 6 years ago

Love your music. Love your video and hope to make a few of these.

@robynsmith66 8 months ago

I made these years ago and I still love them! I found your video again and now I want to make a bunch more for me and for gifts! I hope you make more videos like this. Thanks again!!!

I love how easy to follow your tutorial is! I made a basket (and a few other things) as a gift to celebrate the engagement of one of my twins. I am new at sewing but I am also an artist (as was my Mom) and know that it doesn't have to be perfect...it comes from the heart and soul.
