Weave Fabric Strips Into a Charming Basket
| August 5, 2016 | Fabric Baskets, Bowls, and Boxes, Projects for Scraps
A Great Use of Leftover Fabric!
Strips of 2 1/2″ fabric turn into a lovely basket when fortified with interfacing and woven together. The designer used a packet of pre-cut Bali batiks for her version. Whatever jelly roll strips you have on hand are sure to be just as charming.
The process mimics the baskets you may have seen made from woven paper, only the result is more delightful, don’t you think? After all, it’s easy to love just about anything made with gorgeous fabric.
In addition to the fabric strips you’ll need fusible interfacing and fusible web to complete this project.
The tutorial, from Atkinson Designs, is clearly illustrated. Be sure to read through the comments for a few clarifying points.

Love this basket!
The link for the basket tutorial doesn’t appear to work. Could you please check the hyperlink. Thank you.
The basket idea is adorable. What an interesting use for jelly rolls.
Hi Betty. Thanks for letting me know. The link is working now. It could be the site was down temporarily (that happens to every website on occasion!). Try it again and let me know if it’s still not working for you.
I made this and I love it. It’s so cute. Thank you so much for the tutorial and for sharing it with us.
