ISO folding basket pattern
 
At a craft show, I saw a small basket . It was made from two layers of fabric fused together and the edges had then been zig zagged (I think). The basic shape was rectangular, but the short ends had rounded finger like projections that had kam snaps on them to allow the "box" to be folded up and snapped to make the box, but unsnapped to let the fabric lie flat. I want to make some for gifts, and have been searching without success.
If anyone knows the project I mean, and can link me up to a pattern (free if possible), I would be thrilled! I was unable to get a picture as the event did not allow photography. I've been kicking myself since that I didn't buy one...

I'm guessing that it may have been turned, but one could probably could zigzag the edges. Here are some links for what I think you may have seen.

A little different than what you explained, but might fit the bill!
Or perhaps you could alter the pattern to get what you wanted?

Thank you for responding, it wasn't this one... but it is an option!

The first one Janey posted is like the one I learned to make except we used velcro rather than snaps. I love it for travel. I can open it up flat and put it in one of the zipper pockets on my suit case. When I get there I fasten it up and use it to keep my jewlery in.
