Baskets for gifts.
 
3 Attachment(s)
Three for teacher friends and one for my sister who will graduate from massage school in a while. I asked some for colors. One said blue, one said blue and pink, and my sister's massage room is fall orange. The other teacher likes red--if I remember--and I added lots of yellow because she's always a ray of sunshine. I'll admit I don't like putting these together. Linings and turning inside out aren't fun. I do like constructing the outside!

PS Hi feline fanatic! :D

I had no idea you were on--but I knew you'd see the greeting sometime. lol The blue is my favorite too.

The pattern is called Basket of Charms by Sweet Jane. It called for medium interfacing--I used firm except in the handles. I also leave a double wide opening to turn because otherwise it wrinkles too much. There are three sizes--this is the biggest. I bought one at a craft show I was in--and it's pretty flimsy--and doesn't have handles.

Thanks for the nice comments. :-)
