Fabric Basket

Using this tutorial I made Sophie a fabric basket to add to her Christmas booty!
Found some 3" squares, forgot what the plan was for them, maybe a patchwork skirt that was started at 2am?
I cut the bottom fabric (shot cotton) 8"x15.5", and the lining (my favorite stripe) 17.5"x15.25". To box the corners, 2.25" from point to needle.
The handle I cut at 2"x14", then in half to make the 2 handles, like she did, but it looks a lot narrower on mine than on the tutorial.
Next time I'll cut them wider, because I think the wider handles would look cuter, especially since its a little bigger basket.

What a cute basket! I love the stitch on it a lot! I bought a darning foot recently but it will take me a log time until I become as good at using the foot as you.

Excuse the rambling I have been attempting to catch up on all my blogs. Once I thought we were settled my computer broke and I am now borrowing brother in laws.

Wow! It has been a while since my last visit!
Awesome basket! Love your fabric choices. Seems so many bloggers are making these bags these days now... 8-)
The Halloween dress you made for Sophie is adorable! Too bad she probably will not fit it next Halloween. 8-)
Great aprons! Will you be making one in Christmas fabrics?
Happy stitchings!
