Sturdy Fabric Baskets
**UPDATE- since originally sharing this project, the designer has removed this pattern from their site. Take a look at this post for an alternative idea.
The gift-giving season is around the corner, and baskets make gift presentation beautiful and useful.
The sturdy basket pattern is fat quarter friendly and can be made to any custom size. Handles are optional, and we love that the entire basket can be sewn by hand if preferred.
Since gift-giving is on our mind, we envision using these baskets to house sweet treats, baby supplies, wine, and cheese, or kitchen utensils. Really, the options are unlimited.
Gift a set of craft supplies to a friend or use the basket for personal craft storage. DIY Baskets are perfect for organization!
Recommended supplies:
- Peltex Ultra Firm Single-Sided Fusible 71F
- One FQ quilting cotton for the lining
- One FQ quilting cotton or linen for outer
- Embroidery floss for stitching handles
- Leather scraps or premade purse handles *optional
- Sewing Machine
Raid a thrift store for old belts to use as leather handles! UFO’s such as unused quilt tops make for unique basket designs. The sturdy basket pattern is free and beginner-friendly!
