🤗🥰Oh Wow just what I needed, thank young lady . I like the way you explain things , 🙏🏼God bless you , I am enjoying your tutorial from Rio Medina , Texas 🥰

[@lisabarton-volney4548]

Blessed morning to you....you're so bubbly, lol; greetings from Saint Lucia in the Caribbean...I have a tip for the corner....try making the cutout 4.5 x2 instead of 5x2....that way you're putting the quarter inch allowance so they should both line up perfectly....blessings

[@rosac8168]

Wow! mine came out so cute . I had plaid left over scraps. Cant wait to start making the bags. you are the best Teacher xoxo

[@wmyoung1000]

LOVE this adorable basket! Have been searching for a good tutorial and you’re it! Awesome tutorial! Really love the look of having a binding around the top by rolling over the lining👏👏. Thank you!!

[@tinaortiz9685]

Hi, Vanessa, I am new at sewing, well I used to do some sewing when I was a little girl but then stopped, so I am kind of new at this and I love your tutorials. Did this box, I made many mistakes but made. Hope to make it again and better, thank you for your teaching!

[@BigSkyGirl1000]

I'm going to make some of these to hold my bowl coozies in for our camper. Display it on our kitchen table. Cant wait to start my new project. Thanks for the video.

hi first time from Maryland !!! wow been sewing for 40 yrs. you are amazing... you go girl. f

[@valeriekushner5003]

I am looking forward to creating one of these with my 8 year old granddaughter when she visits. I have decided to use an iron on stabilizer on both fabrics, for her project. She will enjoy the ironing and it will be easier for her to work with.

[@mary-roseharris3710]

Brilliant, lots of detail, lots of tips, great for a beginner like me!

[@nancygross9422]

Hi Vanessa, I absolutely love this....I had a class so I am watching this later in the day...I feel your pain in sewing the opening totally up, If this was a Zoom class, we would have told you, LOL....I plan on making a bunch of these, they are fantastic! Thanks Vanessa

[@glamperjanadventures]

Thank you for this tutorial, excellent tips and explanation

[@michelleyoung2879]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I just made a large bag with lining and embroidery/applique designs. It turned out great, but the lining was slightly too big and I was unable to ease it in, so I swore off linings! But your methods made this look so easy, I'm going to try it again! I plan to make quite a few of these. I can't wait to see more videos from you!

[@patriciaberne5733]

Vanessa, you have taught me so many great sewing tricks. As a beginning sewer, I have learned so much from you and enjoy your tutorials. I live in Keystone Heights, not too far from you, and think of you as a neighbor. You really are adorable! Pat Berne

I’m prepping a new sewing room at our vacation home. These will be Perfect for my sewing notions and thread in the drawers of the craft table. This project is the easiest and best looking basket I’ve seen. You’re so fun to watch too! I keep recommending you to family and friends who are looking for help and inspiration, both the newbies and the seasoned ones. Keep on keeping on girl! Hope you and your family enjoy a fabulous Thanksgiving holiday!

Just finished knitting a little neck wrap for a friend for Christmas. Now I know what to put it in to gift to her. She's a quilter so I know she'll love putting supplies in this basket. It's like giving two gifts in one! Thank you Vanessa for another quick stash busting project!!

[@TheCraftyGemini]

That’s gonna be a great gift!

[@donnaduffy4752]

I just love your videos. I’ve learned how to make so many things watching you and you’re a wonderful teacher. I am still learning though and was hoping you could answer a question for me….how do you make these boxes deeper? I’ve done this one step by step about 3 times and it keeps coming out about 2 inches high but yours looks like it’s about 4 inches high. Thank you and I look forward to watching more videos! Donna D.

[@barbiejones5335]

I am making an entire set to fit in my craft cabinets, instead of buying organizers from Walmart or Dollar Tree, wish me luck. Love your videos, thank you

Sounds great!

Having flooding. Terrible. I live on PEI but have a granddaughter in Kelowna. They lost power for a few days

@@audreyderby5926 Dear Audrey, it has been a tough few days in B.C. So much water, flooding, and mudslides, folks trapped on the Highways. This is the worst it has ever been. Loss of power is always tricky because it gets so cold at night. I hope for the best weather for Kelowna and surrounding hard hit areas. Cheers, Kindle

Made bowl cozy’s today, will make a few of these tomorrow, Mount Scrapmore is getting a little dent. Lol. Good video, thanks.

[@ShoelessSewist]

I like this project with your twist on the construction. I’m going to try to develop the bowl by using 10” layer cake, will try with 8.5” x 10

[@betsycannan8476]

Great tips!

[@amyloomis235]

Can’t wait to do this project! I’ll let you know how it turns out.

[@riselogsdon1803]

Crafty Gemini, I love your videos. Could you look at making a basket bag tutorial? You always come up with the best shortcuts. Thanks!

[@debbieparrish4369]

You could use your layer cakes by cutting them in half and adding 1.5" ribbon or contrasting fabric to stretch it out to 11.5". Something I will try.

[@julierig]

I LOVE this project. Thank you so much for sharing it. Your projects are always my favorites!! I made it last night and it turned out better than I expected for my first attempt. My only issue is my lining is too short, and it's not resting on the bottom of the basket, but is elevated inside the basket. I must have done something wrong but I'm curious if anyone had this happen and can say what to look out for next time.

Hi from Fla. Hastings

[@patstrawhouse4005]

Hmmm…it seems that if you were to either: make the width 1/2” wider -OR-make the cutouts 1/2” narrower, the base would match the length of the side when you sew them together.

[@debbewojack7211]

I just made this cute basket and the only thing I didn’t like was the lining is too small. I am going to try and making the lining fabric 1/2 inch larger in both directions and keep the cut outs the same as the original instructions. Hopefully that will fix it.

[@patstrawhouse4005]

@@debbewojack7211 Sounds like a good solution!

I wanted to know if you can add a drawstring top so when this gets moved we don't lose our stuff out of it, would it work? My bag I made last time was soft with interfacing so I tried with jean material and fancy pattern fabric but I'm not sure how to incorporate a extra cloth . Thanks so much!

Are you using the Clover Chaco Liner for marking? I would like one, but have seen reviews saying that they stain fabric and the stain cannot be removed. What has been your experience with this item? I have learned so much from you and take your advice seriously. Love your videos and I watch you ALL the time...especially WIP Wednesdays!
