| Dress It Up With Charming Embellishments!
Explore the beauty of patchwork and embellishments with this charming fabric sewing basket. The sides and bottom are one strip of patchwork, which can be made from any design that appeals to you.
Embellish the basket with hexagon flowers, embroidery, and hand quilting. You can also play with other embellishments to make it uniquely yours, or omit them entirely.
Besides being a fun and satisfying project, the basket is great for storing projects, tools, and other items. Its curved bottom corners give it a graceful design, while the inside pockets help keep things organized.
The completed basket designed by Irina from Nordic Crafter is 6” tall x 9” wide x 3 3/4” deep. Excellent instructions make it doable by quilters of most skill levels.
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
