You will need:

• 2 pieces of fabric in different patterns 12inches x 10inches (a note on fabric, I used a heavy fabric as the outer of the basket, if you use 2 lighter cottons you will need to use a fuesable heavyweight interfacing. Once fused to the outer fabric treat this as one piece of fabric and follow the pattern as normal)


• a needle and thread/sewing machine


• measuring tape


• pins


• scissors

Instructions

1. Using a 1/4 inch allowance sew your fabric pieces, right sides together leaving the top edge open.

2. To make the boxed corners, measure 2 inches out from the corners and place a small mark.

3. Pull out the sides of the bag and match the marks up securing with a pin. When you put the pin through the marks, don't match up, simple reposition the fabric until they do.

4. Sew a straight line across and trim off. Do this on all 4 corners.

5. Once you have done this with both inner and outer parts of the bag turn the edges in and top sew around the top of the bag.

6. Fold over a 'cuff' and it is ready to use.
