I am so happy about this Shabby Fabric Basket. This project came together so quickly and so easily and even better, so inexpensively!
You may remember my original fabric basket from a placemat video. This basket is a DIY inspired version of that one and it’s almost just as easy to make. Fabric baskets are so popular. You can use them for organization, a flower pot cover, as a decorative element or a whole plethora of other uses.
I made this one for my friend, Teri, who is a leopard loving pink girl. It is fun and lively, much like she is.
I also toyed with the idea of adding Rae Dunn inspired words to a bag. What do you think?
Change the fabric and you’ve got an Easter Basket, a Mother’s Day Basket, a gift basket, and more.
As always, I’ve got a step by step tutorial for you. You can find it below.
ΩTadaa!!!! I mean… how cute is that and I literally two of them in less than 10 minutes! I’m not exaggerating!
The best part? Is this is a perfect project for beginner sewist (like me) and, even those who are masters. Who doesn’t need an extra Catchall in the kids room, the bathroom or almost anywhere?
I have 5 balls of yard, plus some pom poms in this one.
I think the pom poms look so cute folded down like this, but you can leave them up and it’s super cute like that as well and gives you even more room. I made a few others (you can see them in the video). Endless possiblities.
