[@jenifferbrandt5291]

Hello, I´m not american and learned English when I was 12 now I´m 70 and want to congratulate you for your perfect pronunciation and for your clear and neat explanation on what you want us to learn. Few like you, keep on !!! Thank you very much.

[@chicnscratch]

Thank you so much for your kind words!! ❤

[@jaleeogle5588]

If you iron the top seam open before you turn it the seam will line up better when top stitching.

[@chicnscratch]

Thank you!

This weekend the Fat Quarter Shop was celebrating their birthday. I bought this fabric at 20% off. I can’t wait to make these baskets. Thank you for sharing!!!

Hi from Canada. I wanted to make a small gift to make for a young girl as I was making a baby gift for their new blended family. It turned out just great. Thanks sew much. I subscribed!

[@chicnscratch]

Thanks Mary!! I started a new channel for my sewing videos. Here's the link - www.youtube.com/@sewchicnscratch

I love your Riley Blake Blue Bird pins, they look so cute around the top of the box.

[@allisondwyer190]

This is the best video! I refer to it all the time. Can you suggest some measurements for a small basket?

Hello from Scotland! I've previously made lots of fabric baskets but you're method is soooo much better and quicker. I only interfaced the outer fabric and it turned out great. Also the perfect size so thank you!!

[@chicnscratch]

You're very welcome!!

[@Reenie66]

Thanks for this tutorial! I didn't have any interfacing on hand, so I used fusible fleece. Its little harder to turn inside out, but it came out great! My hubby is sick, so I made this for him to throw his used tissues away.

[@chicnscratch]

You're very welcome!! I hope your hubby feels better soon!

[@galecrafts]

1/4" seam around the top to close the opening or 1/2"... I thought you said it was easier to match up the closing with a 1/2" seam? I have had so much fin making your fabric baskets they are are so cute! Thanks so much Angie ~ Hugs, Gale The Happy Stamper :)

[@chicnscratch]

I use 1/2" seam when sewing the lining fabric and the front fabric together. All the other seams are 1/4". Thanks Gale!

[@sherrihonkomp9184]

Hello, im a new subscriber and love your tutorial of the fabric basket. Im going to make one this week with Easter fabric i have and fill it with ten fabric bunnies im making. Thank you for the clear, concise instruction. Your instruction is so relaxed, makes me believe i am able to make this basket! You are a true inspiration. Thank you! Im excited to view your other tutorials!

[@itsjustme7979]

Just made one. Sew easy!! I’m going to make some for my granddaughter to put things in❤

[@chicnscratch]

Yay! I know your granddaughter will love it!

[@itsjustme7979]

Oh my gosh, I’ve made at least 25 of these. So easy and great gifts❤

[@suzannelatulippe7919]

Very clear instructions, I also appreciate the short intro. I just made my first basket but forgot to take into account the direction of the pattern! Oh well, live and learn. It doesn’t matter, it will live in a cupboard with fabric scraps in it, it won’t be wasted. Next time I will cut everything on a mat with a rotary cutter, to get a really nice even cut on both fabrics which I will cut together. I enjoyed my first go at these and will be making more. Thank you for posting this video.

[@chicnscratch]

You're very welcome!!

[@AChickandaDuck]

So cute! These would be fun to use to deliver Christmas goodies to neighbors

[@chicnscratch]

You're very welcome!

[@kandrews6356]

LOVE this... I'm a bit of a beginner and have always wanted to do more. I've bought fabric too, and haven't used it... ever... LOL. This is a great project to get me going. I must say too, that I really like that miniature sewing machine, I've never seen anything like it before. Angie, Thank you so much for sharing.

[@chicnscratch]

If you ever need help let me know! I'd be happy to get your started!!

[@diannebarton3293]

What a great little project, Angie. I always make a special little table box with little gifts (like a Christmas stocking)for everyone at our family Christmas table. Usually, it’s a fancy one made from cardstock , but I have LOTS of Christmas fabrics left over from making 10 Christmas quilts for all our grandchildren. This would be a great way to use those up and would be a great alternative to change it up a bit. Thanks for the idea! ❤

[@chicnscratch]

That's a great idea Dianne! The smaller one would fit perfectly on the dinner table! Let me know if you want those measurements.

[@diannebarton3293]

i would really appreciate having them Angie, Thank You!

[@mog-gyveroneill2500]

Absolutely brilliant idea! I do this instead of advent calendars, and reuse them every year. I am in full Christmas present mode at the moment, are you? 😀

[@adriane5496]

I just made this basket beginner friendly. ❤my basket.

[@lindacarver3610]

Love your baskets..if I get an opportunity to get one will give it to my Idaho demonstrator she made a lovely quilt

[@chicnscratch]

Thanks Linda!

[@Raquel1Aussie]

Thanks so much I’ve been wanting to make one for my clips for ages. I made mine smaller than yours and found it hard to sew at the end as it wouldn’t fit around my machine but inter end I have what I needed. Thanks again

[@ambersun-d5g]

love the little bit bigger top seam~brilliant.

[@andrewwackett9170]

Great baskets. I would leave an opening on the side seam of the lining. You can then sew all the way around the top.

[@chicnscratch]

I found when leaving an opening on the side seam that the basket would no longer be reversible.

[@heatherproctor7676]

I just made my first fabric bag/basket the other day following your older video. I just love the way these look. Thank you for taking the time to share how to make these. I can't wait to make more.

[@suzanneobrien6391]

Wow you take the fear out of a new project. Thank you. What a fun and useful gift.

[@chicnscratch]

Thank you so much!

[@DD-ek8qc]

Good video with good instructions. I think when I make some I'll use Bosal or Soft and Stable to give the bag a bit more structure.

[@chicnscratch]

Have you found a good deal on the Bosal for bulk buying? I make so make baskets that I can't afford to use it.

[@DD-ek8qc]

@@chicnscratch No, but if you have a resale license you likely could order direct from by Annie.

[@dcwatashi]

I was looking for something to watch in the background while ripping out an elastic waistband as I’ve already made some of these baskets. I noticed towards the end of the video the mini ironing /sleeve board, I have been looking for something like this for a long time so it really paid off watching your video anyway Also appreciate the very short intro .

[@karenpayette3069]

Great tutorial thanks. When I make these boxes I put interfacing on the liner fabric and the outer fabric because it makes a mych stiffer basket.

[@hatsypatatsy]

Those fabrics are adorable!!!

[@chicnscratch]

Thank you!

[@SisterImawhosoever]

I’m new to sewing and wondering if you used a walking foot (it didn’t look like it). With cutting the interfacing 1 inch smaller, that helps with the thickness and perhaps eliminate the need for a walking foot. Thank you, in advance, for that clarification. 😁

[@crisonya]

Made quite a few since I watched this, so cute. People love them. Question, have you ever made cardboard boxes padded with stabilizer?

[@chicnscratch]

Yay! I'm so glad to hear people love them! I've never heard of cardstock boxes padded with stabilizer? I will google it :)

Oh I did that already. I watched it and it never saved on my library, darn. t y anyway@@chicnscratch

[@pywagner]

I LOVE what you said about the 1/2" seam at the top! That makes so much sense. I'm going to do that always from now on for everything! Thank you for that! Question, about how big of an opening did you leave? ~4"?

Hi, I’ve made a few and in different sizes, but I’ve struck a problem with what measurements I do when cutting out the squares for make the bottom. On the 14” x 20” we cut a 2” boxing the corners, is it the same for a 10” x 16” or a smaller one 6”x 12”? It’s not really working as I get a rectangle not a square. Looking forward to your reply. 🎉❤
