If she knits ~ have you seen the fabric baskets? They are adorable, and I hope to make about a dozen for my sewing room reorganization ~ here are a couple different baskets I've found, they're easy to make in HER fave colors...

Would be great to hold her yarns / needles / WIP :)

trim goes on top edge of these, then ties to make corners
