I have (or maybe had is more accurate) a link to a blog that had instructions for a basket very similar to the one you showed. I suspect I deleted it because the writer pretty much quit writing. Sigh. If I find it I'll try to forward it to you. I like all of your baskets! Just a thought -- when folks use their baskets they won't be looking at the inside all that much. Something to think about!

As I was reading your first one and how the lining was a bit too big, I said I have to mention to you to sew a larger seam in the lining(I make purses and do this), so I was glad to see you figured that out already;-) Your baskets are gorgeous, I LOVE the batik one!

In a goddess hat to boot lol. As always I find myself laughing out loud more than once while I read. "I am ashamed to show them to even myself" LOLOL. I like your smooth seamless lining method! ;-) This took such patience as well as perseverance to keep making more baskets, keep taking the photographs, and then write out your process. Thanks for sharing this with us! You and Tish make me want to do 3D sewing now! See Preeti-No Quilts!

Seriously, I'm usually a planner when I make a quilt; improv makes me a little nervous. But when I make wallets or pouches or whatever, it always turns into an improv session until I can't really explain how I got from start to finish. This post is great because you showed exactly how you made the changes and what the results were. Whether or not you were pleased, your baskets are adorable--and so are your pouches!JanineMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13475847392355523001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772130163577468176.post-84900371895793448512016-04-21T09:13:08.875-04:002016-04-21T09:13:08.875-04:00Love this post, you are so descriptive I felt I wa...Love this post, you are so descriptive I felt I was there.

I do mine with quilting cotton and fusible fleece. It gives it a nice body. I don't worry too much about the interior having a wrinkle or two. I gift them stuffed with baby supplies, and figure that they will stay stuffed with something or other in baby's new room, so no one will really see the inside, anyway!
