Fabric Basket

In this post, I shared a fabric bucket that I had made for my tea things.

It was too small.

So I tried again.

It isn’t as sturdy as I’d like, so maybe I will make another.

Someday.

Meantime, I am happy with this one.

I need a basket for my tea things, so I thought that I would make one.

Cute basket, but I should have paid more attention to what size I need.

This one is too small and I will be making a bigger size.

I like the basket, and I will find a purpose for it!

The little teacup is quite fragile. My grandmother served hot chocolate to my mother when she was a little girl. I have the whole set; the pot, the sugar bowl, the creamer, and four cups and saucers. I don’t use the set. I just enjoy having it.

Personally, I prefer a nice big mug of tea! How about you? Do you have a favorite teacup or mug for your beverage?

I have a new favorite fabric basket tutorial. Tessa Marie Walker calls her basket a thread catcher, but I made mine to hold bobbins and feet for my Juki (not pictured).

The color isn’t great in these photos, but you get the idea.

The tutorial uses canvas.  I didn’t have any, so I used a leftover heavy fusible interfacing for my baskets.

I also applied the binding by machine to the inside of the basket, and then turned it to the right side and machine stitched it down.

The basket is a good size; it will hold quite a few fat quarters.  The basket would be a very nice gift as well.  Fill it with chocolate for instance!

I will be making more of these in my future!
