Actually it is a waste basket all by itself. I used some really stiff interfacing to give it rigidity, and then just sewed it very carefully while quilting it. and attaching the bottom. The only thing you can't do is put anything wet inside of it, as it would likely stain it. Thread does tend to stick to the insides but I don't care, because I can use the vacuum cleaner to suck them out.
