Scrappy Easter Basket

[@franklysouthern6702]

Just made a basket. Your directions are FABULOUS! Thank you for sharing.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

You are so welcome! I’m so happy it was helpful!

[@lisamarieesposito4842]

Super cute Easter basket! Hopefully you will get more views and comments from now on. Take care and see you again on Wednesday!

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Thanks for watching and for the comment, Lisa! Thank you for the feedback and I'm glad you liked the basket! I'm hoping that things pick up a bit, too. I think I'm doing okay though, with 90 subscribers and that's in under 2 months. I'm sure if I put more time into getting myself out there, it would probably help. I really should spend at least a few minutes each day working on that part. ;-) You take care, too and I look forward to Wednesday's video, too!

[@honorcobb8509]

❤ Your videos are so well done. Super easy to follow your instructions! Now I just need to sew faster to get all caught up! I love the idea of this basket!!! You are a treasure of patience and knowledge! ❤

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Good Monday morning to you and thank you so much! Such a sweet comment, it went straight to my heart. I’m always happy when my subscribers are happy and so I’m glad that you like the Easter basket. I think each project throws something new into the mix and teaches people new methods of doing things. Thank you so much for wading through my “older” videos, (older as in I’m eight months old now, ha ha). Have a great week, Honor and happy sewing!

[@nancytoupin2190]

What a fun basket! I can just see the grandkids using this after Easter for all kinds of things!

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hi Nancy! Oh yes, kids could find all kinds of uses for something like that. Especially if you just made it in springtime colors instead of actual Easter fabric.

[@sherrydarling9626]

First time seeing you, love the Easter bag. With vinyl as a liner and 4” taller it would be a great beach bag or grocery bag!

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hi Sherry! Sorry for my late response. That's a great idea!

[@tillyswansea3137]

Just finished my fourth basket from your tutorial. I have found smaller ones a bit of a challenge but worth it, so thank you again

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Your fourth basket? That's fabulous, Tilly! Yes, the smaller baskets can be challenging in places. I'm happy that you've found the video helpful and if you would like to share with us, please feel free to join us over on our group Facebook page! facebook.com/groups/5182712958456180

You are a wonderful teacher. Thankyou! ❤️

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

You are so welcome! I'm happy you enjoyed my video and my teaching style 🥰

[@tillyswansea3137]

Really pretty, thank you for sharing

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hi Tilly! It's so good to "see" you again and I really appreciate you watching the video and for the comment. You're very welcome, I'm glad you are a subscriber! I'm happy that you liked the basket! I found it to be an easy project that could be made up in plenty of time for Easter, as it's really straight forward and easy. Have a great day!

[@marygeorge9688]

The basket is cute. Thank you.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Good Monday morning, Mary! Thank you so much! I thought it turned out pretty well. Today I want to make the lining for the other one I showed. I'm undecided on the color to use, though.

[@debbiehall4155]

I love this easy basket. I’m going to make this to store yarn and other craft items for my granddaughter. I want to let you know how much I appreciate all of your hard work, especially when it comes down to putting all of the information in the description box. What a helpful thing for you to do. Thank you

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hi Debbie! I’m so glad that you found this basket tutorial helpful. It sounds like you’ve been very busy sewing and that’s wonderful! Thank you so much for helping to support me and my small channel. I appreciate that you took the time to come and comment on my video. Have a great day and happy sewing!

[@marionjay1906]

hi Marie, I can’t tell you how many times I tried to make this bag and it simple as you say it is for me the brain didn’t work and I ended up with a separate outside bag that wasn’t sold at the bottom and that’s all it was that I did wrong and I can’t tell youhow much time I spent on this bag however it’s finished and I wanted to make more but I think I’m all done. Thank you very much happy😊😊😊😊😊😊 😊

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

I'm sorry you had issues, but I'm happy you gave it a try! It sounds like you're like me. You stick with it until you get it.

[@jamiescountryliving]

I absolutely love it ❤😍🪡

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it! ❤️✂️🧵

[@robineasley491]

Love the bag/basket !! Very cute !

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hi Robin! Thanks so much and I appreciate you watching and commenting! Happy Easter!

[@ruthwilliams3834]

A tisket a tasket a dining room basket👏 💗 I’ll try and make a smaller one but something like this for my dining room table would be perfect 👍 my family is into Miss Dash seasonings and this would be beautiful sitting on the table holding all the spices 🙈 instead of the ugly dollar tree container I have. 😊thank you so much for another great sewing project

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

You're so very welcome!

[@beverlyrhovatter501]

Did you make your wrist pincushion? What did you use for filling.?

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hi Beverly! Yes, I actually did make it and I filled it with regular polyester fiberfill. When I read your comment, I had to laugh because I plan to make a tutorial soon to show how I made it and you were the first to mention it. Others may have noticed it, but you were the _first_ to comment. I need a new one, so I thought maybe others might be interested to see how I made it. Thanks so much for your comment!

[@marycasey6247]

Lovely video!

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hi Mary! Thank you so very much!! I have another Easter related video tutorial coming up tomorrow. :-)

[@nessaaguilera5783]

Love this definitely gonna try

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hope you enjoy

[@donteatthesoap8196]

I have lots of old sheets that are still great fabric. I'm going to make some of your baskets minus handles for organization of my bookshelf. Kids books don't organize well.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Old sheets make great fabric and I use them a lot. In fact, I was just filming an upcoming video yesterday and I used a white sheet that I bought at a yard sale. I love using cotton sheets, especially the older ones, as they seem to be such a good quality. I love your idea of using the baskets for storage and organization. I thought of making some for that exact same purpose, but I wasn’t thinking of using this style/pattern. Thank you for the idea!

[@bethlane3411]

Great job!

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Thank you - I'm glad you liked the project!

[@silverpromidi]

Love both of them 😀 I am thinking these could also be made into Christmas baskets instead of the traditional stocking.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

That's a great idea, Kerry! I think you have a very creative mind - you come up with great ideas!

[@silverpromidi]

@@MariesScrappyCreations 😊 thanks.

[@marionjay1906]

good evening Marie my video was interrupted by your video so I’ll go on again Marion Jay from Cape Cod Massachusetts and I’d like to wish you a happy first anniversary with the KZbin and I think the United States is probably the only country that you can you know just go on video and be on television and I have an hour and as long as you keep a cold you can make a go of it. I know it’s difficult at times and I know your house is full but hopefully things will pick up and you do a great job and you’re a credit to a lot of women and I’m sure your husband is a big help for you as well so you take care. God bless you and I wish you all the best as far as your health goes andyou can continue on your journey, so thank you so much. Marie have enjoyed every minute of your programs.

[@ellagregory818]

That is really cute 😍

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hi Ella! Thank you very much! I thought so, too. I just love making holiday items. Thanks for watching and for your comment, I really appreciate you!

[@ellagregory818]

@@MariesScrappyCreations you are very welcome

[@marycasey6247]

Made one Thank you! Now three more! Had to put the second one down I just made so many mistakes. Will try again! Happy Easter to you!

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hi Mary! You're very welcome. I'm so glad you made some, but sorry you had a bit of trouble. For me, usually after I have bit of trouble, I try to find my "trouble" spot and work on one issue at a time. I'd love to see your finished baskets! I just recently started a Facebook group so we could all share pictures of our projects, as well as chat. If you'd like to join us, this is the address: facebook.com/groups/5182712958456180 Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Take care!

[@nancytoupin2190]

I need to make one of these for my soon to be three year old granddaughter. I can just see her carrying all kinds of goodies in it!

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hi Nancy! I gifted the one I made in this tutorial to our youngest granddaugther as an Easter present - along with the placemat with the chick on it. I'm sure your granddaughter would love one, too - I'm equally sure you'd fill it full of goodies for her!

[@lucyscott736]

New subscriber here. Love this project. Thanks

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hi Lucy! I'm so happy you have found me little channel. I just got started a few months ago. I'm glad that you liked the project - I just gift this basket to my youngest granddaughter yesterday! Happy Easter!

[@glendacrouch1877]

I love this! Watching again and decided to mention this would make super Easter goodie baskets for my SS kido’s! Love it Marie. I think I will make it with my new Strips I just got from Kimberly! Thank you so much for sharing her link on your channel for us!

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Aww, that's so sweet Glenda! I love those strip packs, too!

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

Thanks

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Yikes!!!!! I can see why...

[@debradavis3756]

Hi Marie! I just watched and followed along with your tutorial :) I made 3 today, did you do your Facebook page? I looked it up but only found Maries Creations... if that is you I was going to post my Easter bags for you to see

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hi Debra! I’m so glad you enjoyed this tutorial and it sounds like you’ve been busy sewing! Good for you! My Facebook page is by invite only at this point, so it won’t show up in a search. If you’d like me to invite you, please email me and I’ll send you a link to the group. [e-mail]

[@jamiescountryliving]

What Iron do you use? If you don't mind me asking?

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

At the time of this filming, I was using a Hamilton Beach "Durathon" iron, and I loved it! They get good and hot! 🔥

[@marygalbraith1081]

If I wanted to quilt this, at what point would I do that?

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hi Mary! Thank you for watching, as well as for your question. I made this 2 years ago, so I’m a bit foggy on the details. I’m also fairly sick right now, or I’d try to figure out the quilting part. Off the top of my head, I’d say you could quilt the outer part to the fleece and then as long as you do your corners the way I show (at about 23 minutes into video), that will hold the lining inside.

[@georginaphilbin420]

what is the final depth, width and height of this basket?

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hi! I'm sorry for my late response. If I still had it, I'd measure it for you. I was still new to making tutorials at this point, so I didn't always measure things such as this. So sorry!

[@lorieubanks8501]

I don't get how you unfold the blob after you've sewn to secure the lining. Your video skips to the basket all turned and perfect. I'm confused.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hi Lori! Part of this reply kind of goes with the other one. ;-) I left a link in my reply on the other bag, but I'll leave the same one below and I think it will help you see the bigger picture. In the linked video, it shows it all being turned right side out through the opening that we left in the lining. In the Easter basket video you watched, we left the opening at the top, instead of in the lining side or bottom. It just makes for a neater finish, but there are pros and cons to each method. After you watch the video below, it you still need help, please feel free to contact me over email and I'll help in whatever way I can.
