    This document provides instructions for making a patchwork fabric basket. The basket is made from various patterned fabrics and fleece batting. It is constructed by sewing together 2" fabric squares into patchwork panels, adding the panels to a linen base, and adding a fleece lining. Handles are made by sewing two strips of fabric together and folding the edges. Once the basket exterior and lining are complete, they are sewn together and the basket is turned right side out.

    Instruction

    Cut out 2" squares from 3 different kinds


    of fabrics: 8 squares from each.

    Sew together two squares, making sure


    each set consists of two different fabrics.
    (I made equal numbers of the sets like in
    the picture: 4 for each set.)

    Press seams in one direction in the way


    that it isn't on top of each other.

    Now sew together pieces to create 2
    6x2 patchwork layer.

    When 2 panels are completed, press


    seam open.

    It should look like this when you flip


    them over. When the same fabrics are
    not next to each other like this, it might
    look a little interesting.

    Sew the patchwork layers to a 6"x9
    1/2" piece of linen fabric.

    Place a fleece batting underneath it.


    Fleece batting is stable and great for
    this purpose. Make it a little bigger
    than the top layer.

    Pin the layers and sew along the line


    that separates the patchwork part
    and the linen part. Repeat this for the
    other side too.

    Sew very close to the top edges.

    Cut off the excess batting.

    Fold it in half right sides together and


    sew the two edges like this.

    Box corners. Sew the line: along the
    seam from the pointy end to the
    needle it is 1 3/4". Repeat this for the
    other corner too.

    Trim excess.

    Let us move on to making handles.


    Cut out 2 - 2"x10 1/2" pieces of fabrics.
    (One for linen and the other for pink
    polka dots print.)

    With right sides together, sew them
    together along one of the long edges
    and press seam open.

    Fold each long side to the middle just


    like when you make a bias tape.

    Fold in half and top stitch the long


    edges like this.

    Cut in half. Now you have two
    handles.

    Sew the handles to the main basket.

    Now let's make a basket lining. Fold in


    half a 12"x9 1/4" piece of fabric right
    sides together and sew the two short
    edges, leaving a lining opening
    (about 2").

    Do the same as you did for the main
    basket.

    Sew outer basket and lining together.

    Turn the basket right side out through


    the lining opening and pin in place.

    Top-stitch the top edge. Hand-stitch
    opening closed.
