Bread basket liner
 
13 Attachment(s)
Here is a quick and easy bread basket liner to make.

Take about an 18" square of two fabrics, one for the inside and one for the outside. Draw half circles about 6" on all four sides and cut out those pieces. Sew leaving an opening. Turn, press, top stitch if desired and you're done!

Draw a half circle about 6" across

Cut the half circles out on the line

Sew around all sides, leaving an open place for turning

You can iron right over the metal pressing bar

Pressing all the seams open on one side makes it so much easier to press it when it is right side out

Turn through the opening, then give it a good press

Top stitch if you prefer, and it's done!

I use a metal press bar to press open the seam

Made one but added cotton batting to keep my homemade flour tortillas warm...Thanks for the tute........

renda 12-22-2010 03:11 AM

Thanks for the tutorial. I used to work at a craft shop and they made these and sold them. Never would share their pattern. Now I have it and can make several.
Again, thanks.

Somerset Val 12-22-2010 03:21 AM

What a brilliant idea - much better than the ones that hold individual rolls! Many thanks for the tute.

Quilter7x 12-22-2010 04:00 AM

It was really fast to make. The most time consuming part is doing the notches, but that makes such a difference in how your final product comes out that it's worth it. This project will take less than an hour to do.

#1piecemaker 12-22-2010 04:47 AM

Thanks. Another on my to do list! Thanks for the tute!

dolores 12-22-2010 04:59 AM

Hopefully the pictures helped. I'm such a visual person, I learn best by seeing it rather than reading how to do it.

In quilting we almost always press the seams to one side (usually the dark side), but in clothing construction, you always press seams open. I sewed clothes before getting started in quilting and that's where I picked up that pressing open at least one side makes such a difference after you turn it right side out.

Happy quilting!

Thank you for the tutorial. It looks easy because your instructions were so good.

JeanDal 12-22-2010 08:48 AM

That's cool! Thank you.

QazyQltr 12-22-2010 08:56 AM

Great tute .. I will use the metal press idea for sure!!

nevrn 12-22-2010 09:30 AM

Thank you for sharing. I printed your tutorial out and since I am also a machine embroiderer I have some great ideas for embroidering in the corners before sewing the pieces together. What do you all think....shall I embroider on the inside or on the outside? The inside will show when it's opened to access the bread and the outside will show when it's all closed up.

I love the idea of embroidery and think I might make some with initials on one flap for a Christmas gift.

Hmm, if you put the embroidery on the outside, everyone will see it when it's folded up on the table. If you put it on the inside, hmm, maybe only the ones who pick up on detail will see it. OK, my decision is to put it on the outside. Does that help? :lol:

I will make great use of this tute as I want all baskets to have liners. Thanks for taking the time to share. It will be well-used.

nevrn 12-22-2010 10:20 AM

Thanks, that was my original thought, too, so I will probably go with that. I have visions of Easter, Valentine's Day, Forth of July, etc. etc. And of course, Christmas!

lbc 12-22-2010 12:21 PM
