Selvage Wrapped Basket
 

Crafty Gemini Creates presents a weekly tutorial on Wednesdays. Here is a link to sign up for them:http://craftygeminicreates.com Crafty Gemini is not new to a lot of us but I enjoy her new format and the weekly tute. You will see that her site links you to MSQC for supplies-what a smart partnership for Jenny and Vanessa!

I opened the tutorial for the fabric wrapped basket using the clothesline. Having just sorted through my selvage stash, I had come across a bag a friend gave me- unfortunately they were too narrowly cut for my selvage project ... BUT I could use them to wrap a clothesline basket. If you look closely, you will see the dots and text on the selvages.

We were taught this technique in my Senior quilting group. We made coasters.

Well that is just so clever. What size needle did you use in your machine? I purchased the cloth line and want to do one of those........I'm going to check out the link also....thank you........calla

What a great basket! Thanks for the info about the tutorials. You did a great job on your basket!

Just watched the video, got an answer to my question..........very informative, thanks......calla

Calla, needle size is 90-14 or 100-16. I used a 100-16 because that is what I had.

Thanks for your post and the link to the tutorial. I think I will give it a try!

Clever use for all those selvages!!!

you did a beautiful job on it. I too want to make one, but right now, i'm trying to clean out the room, not add to it. Such a cute little thing!
