easy project this afternoon

Found this little basket and some scrap fabric, let's dress the basket!

there is no pattern for this kind of project. It is about measuring. Just have fun with your own choice of fabric! It is meant to be a sewing basket so i picked this print cotton fabric.

It was done within 10 mins. very easy project for Monday afternoon.

Toss all kind of sewing stuff and be organized!

very easy way to make drawstring bags for all prupose

example in the photo ------finished size:7x9"

pieces needed: cotton fabric (outside:8x19")

lining fabric (inside: 8x19")
coordinating fabric 2 pieces: 3x7"

2 ribbon or string at least 20 inch long each

first: turn raw edge in twice to form a clean seam on both piece of small blue Polk dot fabric as photo. and fold in half so it is now 1.5x7 inch.

and sandwich the outside fabric and lining fabric right side together. then do so on both side.

the stitch like the photo indicated on both side.

then it should look like this.

align this two pieces.

then stitch both side like photo indicated. remember to leave an opening to turn inside out later.

now it is what it should look like after you have turned it inside out.

to form drawstring effect. apply string this way by using safety pin.

da-la my easy-easy-to do drawstring bag.

fabric supply case

I love this fabric craft supply case! It would be awesome for storing the sewing tools you use most often like your favorite shears, rulers, measuring tape and a few marking pencils. You could also adapt it just a bit to store other kinds of tools like knitting needles and crochet hooks. The project is relatively easy if you know how to apply bias tape, other than that it will be done in no time. you can fold this fabric case and tie it securely.

I found the tutorial over there , clear instruction with step by step photos very easy to follow, hooks.http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=322869.0
