After spending a good part of early spring fixing Brick Master's bedroom,
it is nice to do some girly sewing:
I sewed a sew illustrated basket for myself!
I made earlier.
For this basket, I use this collections of prints
I found at my local quilt store:
They are regular cotton prints, the collection is Garden Delights,
not Liberty of London, even if their floweriness seems familiar.
And unlike the previous basket I made for my mom,
where I used plain pieces of fabric for the sides,
this time I followed the instructions
and sewed 4 patch and 2 patch pieces for the sides.
But I took a shortcut by stamping one of the image instead of stitching it!
I also did not add the handles, I think it is just perfect as is.
Happy sewing!
Aww, this sewing basket is too cute. I love the little pincushions too. I just adore all of the sweet embroidery that you do. :)
