Denim fabric basket - So much fun!
Thank you Pam for your fabulous tutorial! I am going to teach beginner sewing lessons to elementary school age children in November. This lovely adorable basket will be their fourth lesson.
The tutorial is well written and simple to follow. All my old jean denim was ripped to useable fabric years ago, so I just cut two rectangles the same size as the liner fabric. This lining is 100% polyester outdoor fabric that is waterproof. It was left over from repairing deck chairs.
As the outdoor fabric is very stiff and strong, I omitted the interfacing.
I did not line up the side seams at the top of the bag before I sewing the lining to the denim outside. Instead I staggered the side seams so the box corners are square at the bottom which makes it stand up really well.
Thank you so much Pam! Happy stitching all.
