I’ve been meaning to make this little patchwork baskety thing for ages, and I’m glad I sorted myself out and did it. I thought it was going to involve complicated sewing, but actually, it was mega easy! Pink Penguin is where you need to go. The sewing tutorial is for a small patchwork basket; I made the larger version.
I really like the interior fabric. I only bought a quantity of 40 cm, which was just enough. It was a bit silly, really, but when I bought it, I hadn’t measured anything, so I had to guess. I want to make one for me; this was for my sister.
I also made her this handmade tote bag. Everyone needs a bag now, don’t they?! I made up the basic pattern having seen similar elsewhere.
This pleated purse was the other thing I made in my sewing flurry. I’m running out of people to make this for now. I have done quite a few in different fabrics. The pleated purse tutorial is this one here.
Oh wow, I really like the fabric used on the interior of your fabric basket! Where did you get it from?
It was from a shop in Hemel Hempstead.I can’t remember the name if it, my sister in law took me there when I went to visit. They had loooaads of fabric. It came in other colours too!
Darn, I’ll have to keep an eye out.
There’s a shop in exmouth on Exeter road that does that sort of thing. Or there’s one by central station in Exeter. There was, dunno if it’s still there! Might be worth a look.
Brilliant, thank you, will definitely have a look around
I love all the fabric choices, simple elegance x
I like too many, it’s always a struggle to choose!
Cute bags. Enjoy your Halloween fun.
Thanks! I will for sure!!
The interior fabric is lovely I like woodland prints 🙂
Me too! It came in a few different colours. It was so hard to choose!
