I saw this on Oregon Public Broadcasting...Very simple to make! People wrote me and asked for a tutorial....in one hour I had it made -- Iincluding taking the pictures!!!
The original video said to use grosgrain ribbon. I only had regular ribbons on hand. I'm going to use fray-check on the ends to keep them from unraveling. You can make any size box you want....and adjust the sides to what size suits you. I refolded my fat-quarters to make them fit nicely. Enjoy! Sew 1/4" around the sides leaving an opening for turning [ATTACH=CONFIG]102428[/ATTACH] Original video said to mark 2" in on all sides [ATTACH=CONFIG]102429[/ATTACH] Turn and press, topstitch 1/4" from edge [ATTACH=CONFIG]102430[/ATTACH] Cut 1/4" ribbons. Add 6" to each end of the box (if box is 8", cut ribbon 20") [ATTACH=CONFIG]102623[/ATTACH] The original box -- with fat quarters [ATTACH=CONFIG]103331[/ATTACH] Cut 2 pieces of fabric...any size you want -- this is 8" x 7" - original one was larger [ATTACH=CONFIG]103332[/ATTACH] Cut Iron-On fleece the same size [ATTACH=CONFIG]103333[/ATTACH] Pin the corners and double check what you have --- Because my box was small, I reduced the 2" to 1 1/2" [ATTACH=CONFIG]103355[/ATTACH] This is what the inside will look like [ATTACH=CONFIG]103522[/ATTACH] Pull up the corners and tie ribbons in a bow. [ATTACH=CONFIG]103523[/ATTACH] Lay the ribbon on the line you drew and stitch with decorative stitch. Sew from the topstitch line to the topstich line! I glued my ribbon down so it wouldn't slip on me. [ATTACH=CONFIG]103527[/ATTACH] Repeat for the other two ribbons [ATTACH=CONFIG]103596[/ATTACH] |
I have made these before and you did a great job on this. I have placed cardboard in the center to make the bottom firm too. I do this when I am using them in a drawer as a divider. Thanks!!!!

Thanks, np3! That's a great idea about the cardboard. I've also thought about using the plastic canvas so they'd be washable!
|
These are great. Thanks for taking the time to show us how to make them.

I will add this to my Christmas list of projects!
|
Thanks for the tute! I will have to try this. Yours is very cute!
|
Oh!!! I just love this :!: I like the idea for your drawers.
Thanks for the tut :thumbup: |
Thanks again for creating the tutorial for us, you did a great job!
|
That is darling. I want to make some for Christmas.
|
So cute! Can't wait to try one.
Thanks, Dix |
can just picture fresh baked breads in them as holiday gifts
|
Thank you so much! I want to make one for travelling that I can set out my vanity stuff in when at a motel or someone else's home, so it looks neat. I could just lay it flat in the bottom of my suitcase for travel.
|
Thank you so much for the tutorial, I am bookmarking this to make a few of these for Christmas! Thanks :lol: :lol: :lol: :thumbup:
|
I saw one someone (maybe you?) had made on the board and I have turned the internet upside down trying to find a tute. Thank you so much for posting this! I thought it would make a great Christmas gift for coworkers with cookies or candies in it. I'm so excited now!
|
Great tutorial.
|
Great tutorial. You make it look simple! :-D
|
I have made these for gifts, putting homemade jams in them!
|
Thanks! That will make great drawer dividers for my jewelry in my dresser!

Love your baskets. Thank you for the tutorial, your instructions were very easy to understand.
|
thanks I will be making one out of Christmas material. Hugs
|
Thanks for this. We saw them used a lot in Portugal when we were there this fall.
|
Love the idea of putting fabric pieces in the basket. What a cute gift for sewing friends. I used to make these baskets a lot but put a handle on them. I like the look of it without the handle better I think and it will be quicker to make. LOL. I'm making some small items for a friend's fundraiser and I think I'll make a few of these for her too.Thanks for the pictures and tute. You did an excellent job.
|
Oh cute!! I'd love to make some as gifts, but think I need a few first!! I love the ideas of using them for drawer dividers, for travel!(clever) and as bread baskets. Thanks for the tutorial!
|
I have made a few of these for gifts with a coffee mug, flavored instant coffee and some cookies in them. Then you just untie the basket and you have a little placemat/coffee mat to use.
|
Thanks so much for the tute, it looks quick and easy!
A stupid question...how do you put the cardboard or plastic in the bottom? Between the fabs???? Duh...sorry I'm sooo dense. |
Yes I was wondering how you put it in also. Very well done tute though . thanks alot.Mary
|
Thanks!
|
Thank you for the tutorial. This is going on my
to do list for sure!! |
Very pretty!
|
Thanks so much for the tute - That would make a nice gift - I am looking for a pattern for a biscuit basket that I saw using woven fabric strips
|
Thank you....recking my brain for thing to make for a Christmas Holly Days....proceeds go to our local children shelter....going to make out of Christmas fabric.......thanks
|
Soooooooooooo cute!....thank you for the great tut, so easy to follow as well.
|
Thanks these are great. I will make some to put my ribbon necklaces in to sell or for gifts. Thanks again. Linda
|
Thank you!! It was easy and turned out lovely, what a great gift idea!!!
|
Cute little box. And a very easy to follow tutorial. Thank you
|
Question, because the fabric pieces are not square, you used 8" x 7" pieces, what other sizes of fabric would you use to make them bigger or even smaller? And why aren't the fabric pieces square? Is there a reason for them being different?
Thanks for the beautiful tute, I'm such a visual learner, you've made it very easy. |
Thank you for this tute! Do you think it would be possible to use the thinsulate stuff inside and use it to place a baking dish in? I was looking at your tute and had an idea that this would be good to fix for taking dishes to church functions.Or maybe making to give when you need a quick gift for someone.
