    Melissa you have 8 yards of fabric in that basket. I am very impressed with this project. What a great functional piece.

    perfectly done. These tutorials are wonderful because not everyone speaks english and understand what she is saying. Visual teaching is great. And she is doing a fabulous job of it. THANKS

    If I want a box/basket a specific size, is there some sort of formula so I know how much fabric to start with and what size corners to cut?

    Fantastic!!! Finally simple easy to follow tutorial!!!! I've watched so many fabric basket/box tutorials where I have to turn the sound off or jump far ahead because they talk too much too fast & I can't take it....lol

    I really love the simplicity of your basket! By turning under the tops of the fabric and lining and stitching them together, you skip the whole turning process. Except for one video where a lining side seam was left open for turning, I always thought the finishing on the top was less than great. Definitely going to make some of these!

    If someone does not see can this project be made by using sure bond fabric hot clue?

    • @FatQuarterShopTX
      @FatQuarterShopTX  4 года назад +1

      Hi Tammy, we would not recommend making this project with hot glue as it would not be as stable to use as a basket.

    Nice video. I've made many baskets and her method is pretty straightforward and easy to do. I cannot find the size chart she mentioned and her own personal blog is a nightmare to navigate - it is super slow taking forever to build and absolutely filled with ads. I gave up and left, but while there did not see a size chart anywhere.

  • @robbinthompson2578
    @robbinthompson2578 4 года назад

    I love this pattern. Do you think the size could be increased to a finish product of 9 inches tall, 16 inches long, 12 inches wide? If so, how do I determine how to cut the fabric?

    • @MelissaMortenson
      @MelissaMortenson 4 года назад +1

      hi, I don't think that the structure of the basket will hold up for one that large. Since it's made from just 2 layers of fabric and 1 layer of interfacing I don't think you'd be happy with the finished project. You'd need a much heavier interfacing.

      @@FatQuarterShopTX this for a download to use with a cricut machine. The video made it sound like she had a basic chart you could download. Not a pattern to be resized in a cutting program.

    I find that the lining is always too loose using this method. I prefer to attach the lining to base & then put baskets right sides together & leave opening in top to turn through then topstitch it closed at the end. 👍🙏

    Can you use a foam instead of the heavy interfacing?

    • @FatQuarterShopTX
      @FatQuarterShopTX  5 лет назад

      Foam could work, but it gets tricky when trying to sew everything together because it makes it pretty thick and it might not fit under your machine's foot.

    What is the name of the quilt w blue triangles on edge and pink star like blocks behind Melinda Mortensin?

    • @FatQuarterShopTX
      @FatQuarterShopTX  4 года назад

      Hi Ann! Melissa actually made that quilt with her leftovers from all the other fun projects from her Fox Farm fabric collection. She used one of the cheater blocks from the printed panel in her Fox Farm collection for the center, and the other blocks are Ohio star blocks and Saw-tooth star blocks, respectively. The panel and fabrics she used can be found in her Let's Stay Home Quilt kit, which you can purchase here: www.fatquartershop.com/lets-stay-home-quilt-kit

    I thought this was not that clear, too many shots all over the place and no clear list of what was needed. A very pretty end result but not a good tutorial.
