DIY Reversible Fabric Baskets

Medium- weight fusible interfacing- 1/3 yard (you may use heavyweight fusible interfacing if you need a sturdier basket.

 

Sewing notions.

 

 

Gather your supplies.

Cutting dimensions:

 

Cut 2 pieces, 10-inches wide and 10- inches long from the outer fabric.

 

Cut 2 pieces, again 10- inches long and 10- inches wide from the lining fabric.

 

Cut two interfacing pieces, with the same dimensions as the above.

 

• Your finished basket will be approximately 8- inches tall before folding. Change the dimensions if you need a smaller or larger one.

 

 

Cut your fabric and interfacing pieces according to the dimensions given above.

 

 

Fuse the interfacing pieces to the wrong side of the outer basket pieces, following the manufacturer’s instructions.

 

 

Layer the two outer pieces with the right sides together. Pin the edges, leaving the top edge open. Sew along the pinned edges.

 

 

Repeat the steps with the two basket lining pieces.

 

 

Next, align the side seam with the bottom seam of the basket and sew a line 2” from the corner as shown above. Make sure to reinforce the stitches at the start and finish.

 

 

Repeat the steps on the other corner. The wrong side of your basket would look like this. You can see that the bottom of the basket is now boxed.

 

 

Trim the seam at the corner to 3/8- inch.

Repeat the steps with the lining.

 

 

Keep the basket outer on its right side and flip the lining over to its wrong side. Slide the outer into the lining, keeping the side edges in line.

 

 

Align the top raw edges together and pin.

 

 

Sew the pinned edges together, leaving an opening of about 2- inches to turn the right side out.

 

 

Pull the basket outer through the opening.

 

 

Keep pulling till the whole of the basket outer is brought out.

 

 

Push the outer into the lining.

 

 

Press the top edge to make it neat and crisp (picture for illustration purpose).

 

 

Topstitch along the top edge to make it neat and to close the opening.

 

 

Fold the upper edge by 2- inches and your basket is ready!
