Brilliant tutorial with the clearest and easy to understand steps and directions! ☀

Great step bye step lesson. Look forward to some purse lessons too. Thanks you.

[@juliechao3638]

Orange is My favorite color Enjoying the replay ❤..

[@bizburgess1947]

Is there anything more gratifying than flipping a finished bag. Your label is so cute.

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

It is my favourite part of the process ❤

[@patmcintyre186]

What a great instructor!!

[@Lisa-dt4sh]

I love the extra details you shared. So many great tips for a new sewer like me.

[@krozwhiz17]

Super easy to follow your instructions. It looks amazing. Would you be willing to show how to sew hole closed? Slightly confused. Thank you.

[@nz-nz]

Very nice! Thanks for the detailed tutorial.

[@65crystaltips]

I just made one, it turned out perfectly! Thankyou 😊

[@SusanKing-m1l]

Love your sewing table setup

Glad you enjoyed the video ❤️

[@madscientist2782]

I have followed you for several years now and have made many of these fabric baskets, all colors and designs. You are such a wonderful instructor and I just love hearing your accent. Keep up the good work, I so admire you.

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

Thank you so very much for your kind words. You have no idea how much I needed to hear them

[@barbaraa6098]

Great tutorial. Love these baskets. Thanks for sharing all the great instructions. You are so easy to listen to.

[@DeniseTalbot]

Loved this! I will be making some!!

[@mygeorge1951]

Awesome tutorial! Gracias from Dallas Texas! 😊

[@lindasattler5659]

I guess I will be trimming my seams from now on. Never realized how important it is. Thanks!,

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

It really does make a difference 😊

[@shulamussnug7120]

I’ve watched many videos on making these baskets. This is the best! Now I want to figure out different sizes.

[@delrinewebster7021]

Thank you for sparing your precious time in teaching us this beautiful basket, really do appreciate, from Sri lanka 🇱🇰 God bless you,

[@monadacosta-williams7016]

Thanks for the tutorial. You’re so thorough and professional - the very best. My sewing machine is coming out. Thanks

[@fificrossnails]

Another great tutorial, very easy to follow. I’ve made nine of these now for various rooms in my house, and added a pom pom trim on two of them…thanks for sharing!😊

[@imeldasilva4018]

So great to see you back

[@lisapratte9165]

I saw another bag online that had a tutorial and said to read the pattern, then watch the video to have a clearer idea of making the bag, I loved it, but your video was better, I just don't want to watch the video so many times to the bag, I will watch one more time and try to take notes.. I loved your bag!

[@TonyaA65]

Very cute!

[@patriciamoller3060]

Very perfect little sewing bag , thankyou

[@saradrewett]

Thank you for such clear and thorough process explanation. I've watched a couple of others and yours is simple and very effective. Now happily making baskets for Christmas gifts!

[@lynnethyne5374]

I have made one of these and I love it

[@suewaller8447]

Yes! A gift basket! Making one for a baby shower to use on the changing table. Great tutorial thanks much!

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

Thank you 😊

[@jacquiefantinato2401]

So glad to have a sewing tutorial from you. I hope you have more on the way. Thanks 🙏

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

You are so welcome! yes every 2 weeks there will be one at this point, and maybe more as the year progresses :) thanks for watching :) happy sewing

[@rebeccapatterson2023]

Great tutorial, I am a learner stitcher with the sewing machine and I just made myself a basket using your instructions so super proud of myself

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

oh, that is Wonderful! I am glad you are sewing and enjoying it :) thank you for taking the time to watch and comment, it is always nice to here from viewers :) have a wonderful and happy sewing :)

[@Collectivecrafter]

@@darvanaleedesignsstudio I just watched a video on KZbin for your fabric baskets what is the size of this basket? And if I want a smaller or larger one do I increase or decrease the cut outs on the corners? And by how much if so?

[@lizbee726]

I like using a method that attaches the lining to the bottom of the bag because my linings always end up sitting loosely inside. I tend to make my linings a little bit smaller so they fit more smoothly. Good tutorial for beginners. 😁👍💕

[@angiolinadatri647]

Perché non in italiano?

[@angiolinadatri647]

Ie misere,troppe chiacchiere

[@leahhaydel8774]

Hi Liz Bee, is there a tutorial that show how to attach the lining to the bottom, I would like to try but haven’t found any instructions that use that approach Thanks

[@valerieslater3029]

That was really good, I like that you emphasise the backstitching because many youtubers dont do that and it is really important. I have subscribed so I can watch some of the other things you have done ....thanks !!

[@suzieq5572]

Such a well done tutorial. Your attention to detail is wonderful!

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

Thank you...glad you enjoyed it and thank you for taking the time to watch ❤

[@lyndavaughn1187]

[@diannalynnYT]

Sending this to my daughter who sews. My husband is looking into getting me a machine so I can learn.

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

Oh that would be wonderful if you got a sewing machine...if you have any questions at all or would like to see something particular on the channel let me know and I can always do up a tutorial for you :) ...but I am sure you will find plenty to keep you going for a while :) thanks for taking the time to watch and be part of the channel :) till next time happy sewing :)

[@karolhall699]

Love your basket. I’ve seen a couple of examples of these and love them all. Love that you have your turning point on the side of the bag rather then the top. Really makes for a neater bag.

Thanks! I’m looking into makin fabric bags for our bedroom cupboard as all the ones I’ve seen are crap! But it needs to be bigger than your one

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

You can make them in bigger sizes, adjust your length of starting fabrics, and may l suggest you use foam interfacing if you go bigger; l have a pattern for larger sizes with handles in three dimensions. You can find it here www.darvanaleedesignsstudio.com/product-page/dds-storage-cubes-with-handles Thank you for watching and taking the time to watch and leave a comment...have a wonderful day and happy sewing. ❤😊❤

[@nadz_xstitch]

there you go...you've done it. You have tempted me into getting my sewing machine out his weekend and see if I can manage to sew in a straight line as a start 😂😍 Thanks for showing us how to do this basket 💕

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

Lol, Oh Yay...you can get that sewing machine out...and l know you can make it hun...please give it ago, you won't regret it ❤❤❤

Thanks. I also found out I am using too hot an iron for my interfacing.

[@beckymoffitt7705]

Haven’t been on in a while. Good to see you! Love the basket.

Thanks!

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

Welcome!

[@paulamader5655]

I absolutely love your videos. Easiest basket to make just by watching. I have a question, do you put your needle in the center or all the way to the right when guiding with the pressure foot? Thank you. ❤

[@maryschlenz5785]

Thank you so much I also made a 6" 18" tall

[@joyceholland8471]

Love the video. Do you have any patterns?

[@juliechao3638]

I just found Your channel and subscribed..

[@craftyowlcreations3185]

Hi Thank you so much for this tutorial, so easy to follow and concise. I have made my first basket but found when I turned it the right way out my stiffener went wrinkly. Have I used the wrong thing? The one I have is quite stiff and the basket stands up beautifully but wrinkly.

[@Annascraftyamore]

Love this lil basket Nicole great for a lil project basket to keep my yarn and sock knitting in 🙋🏻‍♀️💖🧶

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

Oh thank you, so glad you enjoyed it ❤ thank you for stopping by and taking time out of your day to watch ❤❤❤

[@StitchedWitch]

Thank you for this video. You inspired me to make a basket (easily) and so gratifying to give to my girls with goodies in it for Halloween. They will love the basket more than the candy. :) thank you! ❤️

[@lisastephens9703]

Would like to see your ironing board...front/back...did you make? Love the orange color 💜Basket quite nice 👍

[@pixiecora2212]

Nice tutorial! If I make a bigger basket, do I use the same 1 1/2 square at the bottom corners or do I make that bigger as well?

[@lisapratte9165]

I was told you need to change the square size depending on the size of the bag.

[@cleideoliveira9959]

Lindo parabéns 🥰

[@cherylporter1056]

I always cut anything fusible about 1/2" smaller all the way around so I don't have to worry about it sticking out.

[@cindycolvin2916]

I think I have been using too hot of an iron with the fleece😳 it always ripples. Thanks for pointing that out

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

Yes, a hot iron can cause all sorts of issues for interfacing...I always use a warm iron...it may take a little longer, but better than it getting ripples in your project :) thanks for taking the time to watch and be part of the channel :) till next time happy sewing :)

[@dasielin]

Really like this tutorial. Could you share with me where you get your little tags?? Thank you so much for a great video.

[@dtharge4082]

Do you have instructions to make that small basket for you clips? Thank you ♥️🤍💙

[@maryball2011]

So much fun! Just don’t do like I did and pick an outer fabric with a repeating image- it’ll be upside down on one side- oops!

[@Mercedes-mn8sc]

Love the tutorial. What is the finish size? Would love to make a few for drawers in my bathroom sink cabinet. Thanks

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

Thank you glad you enjoyed it...measurements are as follows Base 4" x 6" Height is 6" I hope rhis helps 😊❤ thank you for watching 😊❤

[@Mercedes-mn8sc]

Thank you that helps. Again great tutorial.

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

@@Mercedes-mn8sc not a problem :) have fun making your new baskets :)

[@gloriavella3025]

I enjoyed this video I’m going to make a couple for my sewing room how can I buy your fabric and other products thanks gloria

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

We have a website www.darvanaleedesignsstudio.com 😊❤ thank you for watching

[@akapody]

Hi. I made one of your basket/bags and it came out great. I have one question... You said if the fabric you ironed isn't flat you run your clapper over it. Sorry but I'm from the Midwest in the US and I have no idea what a clapper is. 🙄😄

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

A tailors clapper sets seams and creates pleats and folds...but l use it as an ironing tool as well.. l hope this helps...l will have a link so you can see what it looks like amzn.to/2QqDRPb

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

amzn.to/2QqDRPb

[@akapody]

@@darvanaleedesignsstudio Thank you so much. I never heard of it before. I love learning new things. 😁

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

@@akapody no worries, l use it a lot with bag making to make pleats for card slots

[@5kristy71]

I would like to use hexagons, would I sew them all together to make a fat quarter size then use the fusible interfacing and open all the seams?

[@pamelagahan5601]

What part of Aussie are you from. Great video, practical baskets for so many different uses. Thank you.

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

Im from Queensland 😊 and thank you glad you enjoyed the video

[@wandavandeman3635]

Just wondering if you could leave your little pull through space at the top and then close it with your top stitch,

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

Hi Wanda, Yes you can, but I find this way gives you a better and more professional finish...you can also top-stitch the the opening in the lining if you are just making it for yourself :) thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment I appreciate you being part of the channel :) till Next time happy sewing :)

[@laticecarpenter5887]

Can warm and natural batting be used instead of fusible fleece or non woven interfacing

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

you can, but it may not have the same finish like the one in the video...I find when I use batting it does not sand up as well...but it is up to you :)

[@GloriaAvino]

What is the largest basket you can make? What would the measurements be?

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

I have not made these particular ones too much bigger, and when I have, I have just adjusted the height...but if you are looking for something a lot bigger for storage etc, I do have a pattern on Etsy with 3 different sizes that might help here is the link to that pattern etsy.me/3MIVrZb

[@marycasey6247]

Could I make a bigger basket? What’s the largest you have made? Do you have measurements?

[@virginiascott3290]

What size fabric did you start with? Maybe I missed it. What size did the basket end up being given the 1 1/2inch fold at the top?

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

3.37 the measurements are mentioned there...your finished basket will be approximately 5.5inchs to 6inches in height

[@virginiascott3290]

Thank you
