You may not need another little thing on your sewing table.
You may have the fabric organization GENE! :)
You may already have the perfect spot for ALL your scraps and leftovers.
I'm always collecting little squares.
I have a "THING" for little squares.
I like to cut them up out of the leftovers from projects.
Getting them rounded up is always the challenge.
This little basket was a prototype.
I was designing a little COASTER basket found here
and made a FEW
I WONDER baskets.
"I wonder if this work?"
"I wonder if THAT will work??"
This basket was TOO big for coasters...
but it works for my
2", 2 1/2" and 3" squares.
They all have a corner
and ONE corner is leftover for....????
Do I dare begin a 1 1/2" corner??
'
This little basket is made up of TWO 11"x 11" squares.
I laid them out BACK to back
(wrong side to wrong side)
and cut out 2 1/2" squares from the corners.
I used some bias tape.
Laid that bias tape down
and covered EACH corner.
I opened it up and sewed around...
I turned at each corner after going 1/4" past the corner.
With needle DOWN...
I turned the basket and stitched.
Then I rolled the bias tape over and top stitched.
Each corner is now covered.
I added bias tape around the top
in the same way.
The only tricky part is moving EACH side
up to meet at the corners.
Not really tricky.
Maybe a little fiddly.
;)
I don't really need anything else on my sewing table...
BUT...
I DO appreciate a little organizational HELP!!!!
