How to Make a Fabric Basket

[@yarnkillah]

Thank you for finally being the first video that actually shows you how to make them as opposed to making them while talking about their personal life giving no guidance on what's being made!

[@chicnscratch]

you're very welcome!!

[@lillyrose1422]

🤣🤣🤣 That's true!!!

[@cathyphegley7848]

Amen!

[@i.c223]

haha so true 😄👍

[@cherrithday6451]

Just made this with my granddaughter who is in 3rd grade. We had so much fun!!! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@phxgidget]

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.

[@chicnscratch]

I had the same issue when using a stiffer product. Try this instead, use the fusible fleece on the front fabric and the liner and that should do the trick (even better if you use a thinner fusible fleece on the lining fabric like the one I used on my handled tote bag). Thanks for the tip on the upside down dogs... my layer cake fabric basket shows how to use two pieces of fabric for that very reason. Have a great day!

[@janetbessette4019]

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!

[@chicnscratch]

You're very welcome! What a great Christmas present!!

[@michaelbalogh5976]

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

[@chicnscratch]

Thank you! I hope she likes it!

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

[@chicnscratch]

You're very welcome!!

[@lindahoffman2129]

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.

[@chicnscratch]

Thanks Linda!

[@patriciawhitener3398]

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.

I just finished this in about 30 minutes.... I Love It! Your video is perfect! Thanks

Thank you for this video, I've made so many of these and given them to ALL my friends. I've made all sizes with all kinds of fabric and they are just the best! I've kept many for myself, too!

[@chicnscratch]

You are so welcome! I'm the same, I've made a bunch and given them away and I have a large stash for myself :)

[@dianatavener500]

Thank you for your tutorial. I've made quite a few now and each time I'm improving on the finish. Really ideal for beginners. So easy to follow :)

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

Great idea!!

[@catharinechambers1348]

Hi Angie, glad I found your basket tutorial. I keep the basket by my sewing machine to round up all my cut threads. Now my friends all want one. Love the clear and simple way you teach. I will be watching for more fabric tutorials Thank you..

[@chicnscratch]

thank you!! I hope to have a new sewing tutorial in March.

[@glendal3350]

Thanks! I have watched several times! I am going to make one tomorrow! Your voice is clear and pleasant!😊

[@chicnscratch]

Thank you! 😊I'd love to see a picture when you make one!

[@maryhutto]

I just had a "Duh, why didn't I think of that" moment when you used your square ruler to make the boxed bottoms. I don't think I have ever watched anyone do that.. and it is so logical! Thank you for teaching me a new trick!

[@chicnscratch]

Glad I could help!

[@micahjoymacaulay4999]

thank you so much for filming this video and making perfect sense. i have tried so many videos to learn how to make these and none of them make sense but you explained things great.

I love this pattern! So Easy! You get TWO baskets from one pair of fat quarters! Only took me less than 30 minutes to sew the pair! P.S. I can't use pins either for the same reason!

[@chicnscratch]

Thanks Sharon!

[@janislong279]

Great video. Your instructions are very explicit and helpful. Even if someone did see the inside of your basket, if they were rude enough to comment on a crooked seam then they are not your friend! Don't waste time with unkind people!

[@smuxlow1954]

UGH! I just spend yesterday making some fabric baskets for my sewing room from a different tutorial and I wasn’t happy with them. So, today I happened to run across your channel and LOVE the way you made yours. Your detailed explanation was so much better to understand. And the baskets turned out so much better then the ones I made yesterday.. So, tomorrow I will be busy making more little baskets from your tutorial. I am actually excited about making more. They are just so adorable! And you can never have too many little baskets in your sewing room! Also, thanks so much for making a PDF to go along with the video. It makes it so much easier. I appreciate the time and effort that you took to make it not only fun but easier for your followers!

[@liverbird46]

These are lovely. That green fabric is so pretty. I often find when I make things like this that the lining looks baggy.

[@lindajacobs1487]

You might use a slightly bigger seam allowance in the bottom half of the lining. That will help it not be so baggy.

[@lindacromey2495]

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

I am so happy that this popped up today. After a long illness that took several years to recover from, I am back to sewing and quilting. I am a very visual learner. Your instructions are great. Your voice also lends to great instructions. I also make cards and do paper crafts so I am going to have a lot of fun watching your tutorials.

[@chicnscratch]

thank you so much for your kind words!!

[@cynthiacarter532]

These are great! Our quilt shop that closed (owner retired) had bins sorted by color of single fat quarters and I so miss that! But this should also work if I make the outside with a simple patched fabric piece. I have a lot of precuts and scraps. I love the clips too, no poking myself!

[@roadrunner123]

This is a great size and I like the simplicity of using a fat quarter. I made several and lined them with natural colored canvas and used a lightweight interfacing for the exterior and no need for it on the canvas. Everyone has their own way of doing these and it’s fun seeing the different ways.

[@chicnscratch]

great idea!

[@gailrussell9104]

I love these! But I think pressing as I sew makes for really clean lines.

[@threadsbyelle6077]

How cute! Pressing the entire project as it’s made is really important and helps flatten that top edge.

[@judylucasjudy6081]
