I created a new pattern with “loopy” side handles and even added 2 new sizes. Since a few of you requested a pattern for the baskets in multiple sizes.
This pattern is in PDF format and includes instructions to create the baskets in 3 different sizes. When sewn the baskets “nest” into each other perfectly.
I would say that this pattern is an “advanced beginner” sewing pattern. Although I think any beginner would be able to tackle it as long as you go slow and read all of the directions carefully.
A fat quarter of fabric is a quarter yard of fabric that is cut to yield an 18″ x 22″ piece of fabric rather than a 9″ x 44″ piece of fabric from a traditional cut.
