Today’s feature is from jcarolinecreative.com with a sewing tutorial for Storage Baskets:

Materials Needed for Large Storage Basket (finished size 12″ wide x 16″ deep x 10″ high).

Materials needed for Small Basket (finished size 8″ x 8″ x 12″) are shown in parantheses if different.:

• 1 yard of exterior fabric (1/2 yard for smaller basket)
• 1/2 yard of interior lining fabric
• scrap of fabric for label holder
• 1 yard heavy stabilizer (1/2 yard for smaller basket) (I had the best luck with Super Heavy Stabilizer B0509, but you could also use Peltex 70 or Timtex. If you are unhappy with the stiffness of your basket after the basic shape is sewn, the instructions include a way to fix it with some additional interfacing.)
• 12″ x 16″ piece of closed cell foam1 for bottom (8″ x 12″ for smaller basket)
• 22″ of webbing for handles (I used 1 1/4″ heavy duty cotton for baskets shown above)
• 12″ of 3/8″ Heat ‘n Bond Ultrahold (for the label holder).
• Glue to affix inside bottom to basket (I used Tacky Glue.)

Visit website for complete details. These are just the ticket for storing ongoing craft projects, magazines, whatever you like. In fact these remind me of the pantry organizing tip from last month, lovely!
