Oval Fabric Basket

I decided to make my fabric baskets in varying sizes rather than varying shapes. But I already had this one cut out. It was supposed to be more of an oval shape. Almost like a football cut in half lengthwise. But it did not flare out as much as I thought. Think banana bowl, kind of. But it still works great for me.

The "corners" where the side seams are could use some smoothing out...maybe another time I will sit down & work on it...but not now. Now I making other changes in the shop & working on a couple bridal party orders. And don't forget to check out all the styles I just put into my clearance section :D *hint hint*

The Last of the Fabric Baskets...until the next round

I showed you the blue set last week and here is the brown set:

Thanks to everyone who threw out some ideas/suggestions. I think the next round will be different sized baskets - 1 set smaller and 1 larger. Maybe a couple large enough for some towels.

Fabric Baskets in Blue

The past couple weeks have been busy with family things, but I did get more baskets done. I showed off the fire truck basket that I gave to my son already. These are the remaining blue themed baskets.
I did take the "easy way out" and used pre-quilted cotton fabric for the insides. But I do think it looks nicer than the one I made myself with cotton batting last year. They also stand up nicer.

I have a trio of brown coming soon as well. I still need to figure the pricing on these, so they probably won't be in my shop until after the 1st craft show this season...May 1st, so only a week away!

I know I want to make some smaller & possibly different shapes. But I am trying to decide if I want to make any larger ones. These are about 10-12 inches tall & oval shaped, about 9x6. What do you think? Larger? Or just stick to different shapes & smaller?

Fabric Buckets

I have started another sewing round. This time they are fabric buckets. Baskets? I think bucket is best. The first one with the fire trucks went to my son. He loves filling it up with a batch of toys from his bedroom to bring out to the front room. I have about 7 more to make and then...photo shoot! woo hoo? At least the sun should be out more now.
