Beginner Bucket Basket Boxed Bag Tutorial

[@girl5998]

Yes you are chatty but you also seem so sweet, kind and a very loving person the type of person I would love to have as a friend. I know we would have a lot of laughs together. Your a good teacher and I love learning from you.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Oh thank you! I really appreciate that;)

[@lisawilde781]

I am so happy for this pattern.. very easy to understand.... I have been wanting to learn how to make a basket for awhile.. Thank you ❤

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sistab4411]

I absolutely was able to follow along, I made my cardboard patters for the 11,13,& 15”. They turned out beautiful. They will be such a help in assisting me to organize my sewing room. Thank you for a great tutorial!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Wonderful Barbara! These are such fun to make;)

[@PumpkinSpice1960]

That is what I am doing to !!!! I love Jean she is so funny , and I love that she dosen't act like you have to be perfect, it really takes the pressure off. I just found her and can't wait to watch some her other videos

[@budstorey4493]

Oh dear Jean, You will never know dear sister, how much your video helped me. I lost my husband to dementia 5 yrs. ago this month, having a few hours on my hands every weekend, left me with time to start a new hobby. I came across your channel and fell in love with you and your happy spirit instantly. I will be trying my hand at these baskets for our new expected great grandchild in May of this year. I am praying he/she will be born on my husbands birthday. Thank you so much. I love your generous spirit. I subscribed and am happy I did.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I'm so sorry about your dear husband, how sad you must be. I'm so glad that my silly little videos can bring a smile and a bit of relief to your day! And Congrats on the new baby!! How exciting!! You are very kind! Thank you for subscribing and keep safe:)

[@jillcarlisle197]

You have a really great personality. I'm going to have to watch this again so I can take in what you are teaching; I got lost on the animation in your delivery.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Wonderful! I like that "my animation"....meaning I go on and on and babble and fling my arms about and waffle on!! :)

[@yoitskate6086]

I know this video is 3 yrs old but I just came across it and can’t wait to make these. I absolutely love the cardboard use for cuttings out. You were a joy to listen to and I will be watching more of your videos. Thank you for a wonderful project.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thanks so much! 😊 And many more thanks for finding me and taking the time to watch:)

[@sondrabrown442]

Happy Anniversary Jean and Ian!!! What sweet kids you have, love the collage! We really enjoy our meetings for service on zoom with our group too. So nice to see everyone’s faces and share some encouragement. The fabric boxes are so nice, I might make some for storage in my craft room. Thanks Jean!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thanks so much Sondra! We look forward to seeing our brothers and sisters at our Zoom meetings SO much:)

[@ydltfarc96]

That picture from your kids for your 39th Anniversary was so precious ♥️ I don’t know how they did that to make the heart shape with their arms and hands ♥️ I loved that idea 😍 and I also loved your baskets 🧺 😍

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you so much! It was so special:)

[@janesturm]

What a wonderful gift from your children. They are a special group and you and your husband are blessed beyond words. I enjoy your tutorials and visits.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you Jane:) I have to agree! Our children are such blessings to us ~ as well as all of our in-laws and grandkids. Thanks for taking time to watch the Trueloves;)

[@janestevens9973]

Love these baskets. I have two orphan blocks frim 2018 block party 12.5 so cut corners 2.75 - can't find fractions on my tablet. I now have a fabulous basket made with something I was finding it difficult to find a use for. Stored my small scraps of interlining in it. Love it. Happy Anniversary - I am coming up to 50 this month.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

What lovely idea! Good for you Jane! And 50 years!! Oh wow!! Congratulations!:)

[@budstorey1434]

I made these as storage for our so to be born 3rd great grandson. Diapers fit very well inside, and I made one for storing lotions and creams. Our granddaughter fell in love with them. Received many comments on them at the shower. I gave all the credit to you Jean.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

That is awesome! And thank you for taking time to watch me :) I appreciate that:)

[@carriehowe4131]

I'm so pleased that you made them! :) Thanks for sharing Carrie! Organization is a Good thing! :)

[@annewalliser9500]

Loved your video and even more, as a Pennsylvania girl, l loved listening to your Pa accent. Even I have sewn for many years, I picked up some good tips from you. I have a ham too that I have had since the 1960's It is a great tool. I live in Ohio now. It made me sad to hear how scared you were to go outside. God bless you.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Aw thanks Anne!! But I don't have the accent...everyone else does!! LOL! LOL!

[@kayjones5890]

[@MarketsofSunshine]

Hello Sister, I knew immediately what she meant too. I love our zoom meetings and service.

[@Cynthia2v]

I understand exactly what you experienced. I have been in for 8 weeks, I’ve picked up my groceries curbside, and shopped online, delivered at home. I’m not ready for a full fledged shopping trip! What a sweet and thoughtful gift from your children. Thank you for the directions for the bucket bags.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I ventured out again today...and two nuts on the road nearly killed me with their aggressive behavior!!! Oh my word!! Some guy nearly smashed into my behind going about 80 miles an hour (I had to speed up terribly!!! ) and another, on the way home, veered into my lane...until I blasted my horn and he swerved back!! Geeeeezzzzz....what's up with people?!?!! I think staying home has put EVERYONE on edge!!!!! I was relieved and pleased to get home and to the safety of my sewing room!!;)

[@jenniferfarsh675]

Everything you described about going out is exactly how we all feel.. it’s confusing and exhausting! We are all in this together and we will get through it ❤️ Thanks for the tutorial! I love everything you make 💕

[@SAHamel_]

I felt same way as Jean when I went to the grocery store.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

SOOOO stressful...who would've thunk?!!? :/

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thanks Jennifer! Totally exhausting...give me my safe home anyday nowadays!!! :/

Thank you my sister! I really enjoy watching you! So many creative sisters in our organization! I am originally from Pennslyvania. I’m in New York City now! Made some of these boxes to hold my literature for my pioneering! Keep up the great work! Thanks for the pattern!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

That is awesome! Are you ready for September 1?!? Whew!! My husband Ian has been a regular pioneer for about 6 months now:) He is enjoying it immensely:)

Glad it was helpful!

[@dustykeele]

Congrats to you and Ian on 39 years! What a lovely photo collage the kids put together...fantastic! I really like the nesting boxes and will be making some for my sewing and quilting area. I like that you are just using a piece of muslin for a pressing cloth. I use an old pillowcase. No need to buy anything fancy! Again, Happy Anniversary to you and Ian! Here's to 39 more! 💕💕💕

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thanks so much! 😊Dusty! Do people actually BUY a 'pressing cloth'?!?!?! LOL! So funny!! Thanks again:)

Jean, You have excellent eye for color coordination. I love the materials you chose on these boxes. Beautiful

Thank you so much Shirley! These were fun to make:)

I am a beginner to sewing. I'm getting a sewing machine for Christmas this year. I plan on making this my first project. P.S. I did make masks at my daughters house last month. This is what got me excited to learn how to sew.

[@tammypagerutterparsons2314]

I was told about your video by a vendor at a craft show here in WV. I love to sew I am by no means as good as you. My momma taught me to hand quilt at 4 years old. I am #10 out of 11 children. I have to sisters and eight brothers. I was the only girl that took up sewing & crafting. We all know how to cook, bake and can. Anyway I am 56 years old now and have suffered strokes that started at the age of 45 from a rare condition. Because of my disability with my left hand I try to find projects that I can do . You gave such great instructions on your box bags that I am going to attempt to try and make one. Sorry for such a long post being a shut in especially with this COVID I don't get much conversation with others except with my family. God Bless & stay safe🥰

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I'm so sorry to read of your troubles...that must be terrible. Hopefully this little project won't be too difficult! Take it steady and slowly and you won't get frustrated! All the best and I'm so pleased you found me and take the time to watch! :)

I’m laughing as I watch this “bag, box, or whatever the heck you want to call it” video for about the 10th time. Do you think it’s time for me to make it? I’ve already got the fabrics in my stash. Christmas work is finished, we live on a hill so the Susquehanna and Fishing Creek have us home bound for a bit. It’s me-time. Thank you so much for being our KZbin friend. 😊

This is me too!! Lol

What's the number for Pellon interfacing? Would deco bond work also? Love your project.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you Carol! I used Pellon 808 craft fuse. I think the 809 Decor Bond would be too stiff, but if that is the look you like then go for it! :)

Just found you, based on your photo of the project because I LOVE batiks, and sew with them all the time. I recently started sewing the fabric bins, and am giving them to friends for Christmas presents. Subscribed because you're authentic and fun.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thanks! I love batiks too!

[@Peach231231]

I love this! It makes so much more sense to put the turning gap on the side of the lining rather than the top, so it won’t show at all. Definitely going to make this! Thanks!!

I miss my children and grandchildren desperately and need their hugs. Bless you and yours. Stay healthy! Great tutorial.

I didn't realize just HOW much of a homebody I am...until I've HAD to be home 24/7 for the last 6 weeks!! It was too stressful to go out and I gladly retreated to the safety of my home!! LOL! We do miss our kids and grandbabies, but connect every day via video calls....however that is NOT THE SAME!! But other than that...simplifying has become a more real way of life! And that's not a bad thing! :) Stay safe and have a happy Sunday:) Sending hugs!

Thank you so much for the measurements. I've made fabric boxes before, but never really had good sizes. These are perfect. :)

Glad it was helpful Karla:) Thank you:)

Thank you so much for sharing this . It’s perfect as a add to gift for a baby shower I am attending. I will add baby products inside. I added lace and pretty buttons just for a little extra.

Whoa Jean I can’t keep up with all your projects! Love the different sizes of these. Will definitely be making some ( when I have finished the tote bag of course).
