Petit Four Basket Tutorial!

[@bonitagentry844]

Thanks so very much! I love your channel. I have learned to be creative with sewing after retirement by watching KZbin videos.

[@gailcates2941]

I'm weird myself, so perfectly at home on your channel. If everyone was perfect, the world wouldn't be so fun. Had a friend once that thought she was " perfect", but couldn't stand my " weirdness". I now leave the negativity myself too. It's so much more fun to be positive.😁🥰

[@tanyaperrin1218]

Today's word.... authentic! I actually printed this out when you said you were going to do the tutorial yesterday but didn't look at it. I was thinking the "binding" was going to be a royal pain and when you flipped the bag right sides out I was flabbergasted! OMG! no binding!!!??? Happy danicin' over here! Thanks for the tute!

[@deloresrast8543]

I’m the same way - I can make something a thousand times but when I go back to make again I have to get the pattern. I think it’s a great tutorial!!!! Thank you!!!!

[@mjsews]

I loved this tutorial! It was like having a camera in my sewing room, lol. " Oh wait, i was supposed to do what? " We are sewing sisters! ❤ But it all ends well. 😊Cute basket and they are so handy, I use mine as a holder for keys too. Hope you have a great day!

[@annettemaxie-mahmoud2390]

Great tutorial! 🎉 thank you for showing us these small projects. I love them between quilts! ❤ You are awesome! 😊

[@tiggermom0258]

I am in total agreement: NO shorts! There are other channels I"m subscribed to that do a lot of shorts and I never watch them. Your little basket tutorial is just awesome. You did such a good job, I'm not downloading the pattern, I'm just following your tutorial. You make me chuckle when you get flustered and say silly little things. No one better not be mean or rude to our girl, Holly. We love you just as you are! Thank you for this tutorial. xo

[@septemberbaby0903]

I wish there was a way to block shorts without unfollowing the channel.

[@pattidilldine3218]

Holly, thank you for this video! I have been wanting to make some of these baskets. Thanks you also for the info on the free pattern.

[@sandykleckler5761]

Thanks Holly.

[@dorotheakominos1313]

Thank you for the tutorial! Your positivity is one of the reasons I love your channel. ❤

[@deniseb9171]

LOVE you Holly! I have made a dozen of Annie's baskets and pouches and I make little mistakes on every one, either I was not paying attention or THOUGHT I remembered how to 'do that part' 😅 but NO body has refused my gifts so far, lol.

[@janejohnson1230]

Thanks so much for being here for us. You are so right…..those with negativity should just move on. What is wrong with some people??

[@tessahouse9960]

It’s definitely super cute!! I’ve always been nervous about working with the foam batting but it doesn’t look too bad. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@lauralovestoquilt]

Love your tutorials. I don't think I would attempt something like this without watching someone else make one first. I also love that you keep it real!

[@sherrysmith3045]

Such a cute basket! I make these all the time. For gifts, I make these and fill them with jars of homemade jams. People love them!

[@lynnsegler-vk9dr]

Enjoyed this tutorial!! The little basket is great for organizing things in drawers!! 😊

[@Charlie-cz3jh]

Hi Beautiful Holly,🤗 I'm so glad that you didn't edit out the little hiccups along the way, while teaching us how to make Annie's Petite Fors. It really does teach us MORE! And it makes me feel better to know I'm not the only imperfect crafter/sewer... I'm like you in so many ways with memory issues and other stuff. This is a really great tutorial Holly. Thank you. Your fabric boxes are lovely and I'll be making some for my remote controls and other stuff. Love Ya Girl❣🙂 XOXOXOXO. P.S. Pellon stabilizers will probably work just fine. I purchased some for making fabric boxes...but havent tried it out yet. When I make a box with it, I'll let you know how it works out.

[@DandelionStitches]

Love you back my friend. Sorry you share the brain fog, but you're in good company.xoxoxo

[@terrigunning5745]

What a cute little catch all.

[@marthaburnum3925]

I love how this turned out, Holly! Thanks so much for sharing! xx

[@autumnchaos]

I love your tutorials, and how you leave in the little mistakes, as it makes sewing less intimidating, I am easily overwhelmed, and you are just so calm.

[@margaretjohnson7294]

I have the pattern but your tutorial helps so much ! Thank you! Now I feel like I can make the Petit Four Basket!

[@sherryedwards5978]

Beautiful fabric made a lovely basket.

[@conniejoperkins2181]

I love your videos you do and your personality don't change a thing I love how you always try to stay positive in this negative world we live in now days I sew because It relaxing and it allows me to destress even if it 10 minutes or an hour keep the positive attitude.

[@barbarawiedrich9699]

I think it's absolutely adorable. I love the color choices. Thank you so much for being real, I love that you go step by step. Thank you again Holly!

[@mayg.m.3767]

You’re so kind. It’s a pleasure to share this time with you. Thank you for the tutorial, it’s a lovely basket. ❤

[@septemberbaby0903]

You keep doing you Holly!

[@deidrapowell8762]

You are uniquely you and authentic ❤😊which is why I love you and your channel. I might be in minority. I don’t tend to read comments 😅

[@susandimauro4531]

PS: TY for the index cards with the fabric dimensions!! So very helpful 🎉

[@sharontuch3405]

What a cute little Basket. You are correct as in nothing works as well as Soft and Stable. I have used interfacing when making baskets when it called for Bosal ( had to order) and ended up using interfacing!! Soft and Stable for the definitions in corners etc. My brain is foggy a lot I have no reason sew we are good. That’s is my favorite hairpiece flowers you have, maybe cause it’s purple in it! ❤️ 🤗

[@patvezino1349]

as you know you have several followers…. the ones that want to lead with negativity can start their own page… thank you for giving instructions on these baskets so adorable

[@user-mfyfe]

I love your tutorials

[@Jas5]

So cute😊 thanks for the tutorial.

[@barbolson8768]

Hi Holly. Another great tutorial. These baskets are easy and fun to make. I've discovered if you line up clips across the top edge and leave it for a few hours, it will help shape the top edge of the basket.

[@susandimauro4531]

That’s so funny Holly. My mom used to say that…”Who twisted her knickers?” I almost fell over😂

[@lorettamonson5057]

Love “line adjacent “! Me too. By the way, I enjoy quirky and your positiveness.

[@Peonie452]

I have seen soft and stable at my local Joanne’s. I love using it. Also have ordered it online. Thanks for the video!

[@normatulloch376]

You are so lovely. Thank you for this tutorial.

[@darlenemitchell4198]

Love your fabrics! Thank you for not doing shorts. Every channel that has gone to those I no longer watch! BTW being quirky or different is fine by me.

[@roxywood5278]

Hi, you just showed up in my feed.... lucky me! Awesome tutorial. Thank you,,,, hugs

[@DandelionStitches]

You are so welcome! Glad you found me!

[@gracepatane9384]

Bosal is a very good product! I don’t think you would be disappointed trying it. I love the fabrics you used to make your basket, & I may even dust off the cobwebs on my sewing machine, & give it a try! Thank You for the tutorial!💜

[@caitlinmatthews1401]

"Positive, calm and a lot quirky." I'm in 100%

[@edelweissquiltingembroider1761]

Loved this video. I have the pattern but have not made this by annie pattern. I will now. I love all her products and patterns. I also do not like the shorts. I like your regular videos.

[@suefischer6141]

Great video!

[@IMOO1896]

I had to laugh at the phrase, “twist my knickers”, I’ll be using that in the future. I like your projects.

[@anniepicco4700]

Thank you, love that basket. I’m new to your channel and I love to sew also, and always learning.

[@DandelionStitches]

Welcome Annie! Thanks for watching!

[@pattyelliott]

I loved the way you do your videos. You are being yourself and that is what I like.

[@DandelionStitches]

Thank you, Patty. I appreciate that.

[@doraleetrent1802]

Thanks Holly!

[@dakin7612]

Calm, beautiful and quirky - I've found my place!

[@sharontuch3405]

Look at you 4K followers yay Holly I just wanted to say I made this again yesterday and instead of leaving room where it says I left room on top to flip!! That does not work! Well it works but when you have to sew around on the inside you really can’t see or feel seam well enough so it looks right! Just an FYI for all. 😊

[@susanowen1709]

"Line adjacent" "a quarter inch, or something like a quarter inch" "this is kinda-sorta a quarter inch seam. Sometimes it is, but sometimes it isn't." It's nice to see I'm not the only person who sews that way, LOL 🙂 These baskets are really nice, and such an interesting way of boxing the corners. These seem like something you'd have out when guests come over, filled with little wrapped candies to put on the end tables, or k-cups & tea bags in the kitchen so they can brew up a cuppa if they're early risers, or perhaps some pads/tampons in the bathroom in case Aunt Flo comes to visit unexpectedly. Just might have to make a couple of these.

[@paulacox902]

Cute basket!

[@dypick]

I love this and you. I’m going to make some of these.

[@DandelionStitches]

❤❤❤

[@tammyschweitzer7850]

Very cute. I would stick some floral wire in put inside the lining at the top of the stabilizer so you could form the top. Super nice....

[@lucyscott736]

Thanks Holly! I was just watching someone else make a similar basket yesterday. I’m gonna use the “high alert “ phrase. Lol I also struggle with words on some days. I don’t have the same thing as you, I have Chiari malformation.

[@saramcintosh2183]

I enjoy an “imperfect” tutorial…..It makes me feel better because I ALWAYS make at least one mistake!

[@cheryleaston6820]

Jack is my best friend, he gets used a lot. Love the little basket. TFS. Fibromyalgia gives me brain fog at times and its annoying when you know the word and your mouth refuses to say it. 😂

[@sandraengstrand2784]

*Line-adjacent* sewing is my super-power! 🤓🤣🤣🤣

[@nancie4727]

To remove those marking lines after the basket is made, turn the basket over a warm light bulb and rub. My mother used to iron the little puffed sleeves on toddler dresses this way.

[@DandelionStitches]

Brilliant!! Thanks!

[@shes78rpms]

Holly! I just got this pattern the other day, and I found your tutorial delightful! I feel like your floral headpiece matches your personality perfectly. I'm planning to start my project tomorrow! I have two questions! First, what do you keep in your library catalog cabinet? I haven't seen one since I was a kid in the 80s and 90s! Obsessed! Also your tiny iron is giving me "I neeed that" vibes. Can you share the brand or where you got it? I'm adding your tutorial to my sewing youtube album. I'm so glad I found you, I'll be checking out your other content creations! Sincerely, Erica

[@DandelionStitches]

Hi Erica! Those little Petit Four baskets are like chips, you can't make just one. I keep fat quarters in the card catalog. I used to work in a library and when they went digital they didn't want the cabinet anymore. I did!! My iron is a Oliso. I recently replaced the one in the video with a newer model. You can't go wrong with an Oliso.

[@shes78rpms]

@DandelionStitches Hi Holly! I am absolutely making at least two! I collect fabric with cats on them, so I'm really excited to cut into one! I'm thinking of a coordinating solid lining. I am so jealous of your library acquisition, and I love the idea of fat quarters in the drawers! So inspiring! I'll look for an Oliso iron, it's always a struggle to iron small spaces with a big standard iron. I'm so tired of balancing seams on varying sizes of dowels. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@fernie5128]

Great tutorial Holly, thanks. It is helpful to get your tips; and I know when a friend is showing me how to do something, when they say "oops" it is really helpful to learn what not to do! What is that yellow/orange strip on your machine that helps to keep your fabric straight and, I assume, at the right 1/4 or 1/2 inch, etc. width for seams? Thanks for all your positivity! Be well, Fern in Minn

[@DandelionStitches]

It's a sticky little seam guide. I struggle with a consistent seam so every little bit helps.

[@karenbadger9311]

Cute basket. I don’t have patience for small items. I would suggest decovil heavy, but that would become very difficult to turn and it could possibly end up a wrinkled mess. I’m not a fan of foam. I think EVERYONE is weird to a certain extent, and really it’s just that we are all different. 😊

[@dakin7612]

For years I have said I like a streak of weird in a person and I really do.

[@glendabobbitt4912]

Love it, have you made them bigger?

[@DandelionStitches]

I have not. That would be fun!

[@ingehoward3908]

Joann has some

[@DandelionStitches]

Good to know! Thanks!

[@donnakimball3822]

❤❤❤you. Sew like I do. Great minds think alike.

[@robynlbursill3688]

I you forget to iron off your lines , use a blow dryer - low heat,. great tutorial.

[@DandelionStitches]

Great idea!!

[@Bernietheoc]

👏🏻🧵

[@sharonframpton1887]

Goodmorning Holly! Thank you for this awesome tutorial! Ive met people who are so atractive, but then you get to know them and you come to realize they are just plain ugly. That is NOT you. You Holly...become more lovely every time I see you. To negative Nellies who twist Holly's knickers i say...poo on you! Oh....ps: I do like shorts I actually get addicted to them. But your videos are great Holly. You fine without them.

[@DandelionStitches]

Aww Sharon, thanks. xo

[@saramcintosh2183]

I don’t get why people have to be nasty!

[@DandelionStitches]

Neither do I.

[@donnaking-royal431]

Sorry people have given you a hard time.

[@livingweirdestherc6644]

I make lots of mistakes lol. I used to make videos and I was told by a commenter to go kill myself

[@DandelionStitches]

What in the world is wrong with people?! I'm so sorry that happened to you.

[@ruthhuttman5967]

Great video!

[@DandelionStitches]

Thanks!
