Fiona I found your basket tutorial the BEST. I’ve watched several as I’m getting back into sewing. Thanks for the tip about top stitching and increasing thread length. Lovely idea!

A uk person, yay. Thank you. Easy to follow. Newbie.

Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial. This is the fastest and easiest basket pattern I've found so far to make. I will be filling mine with homemade Christmas cookies for my grand daughter's preschool teachers! ❤️

Very nice tutorial. You are good at explaining.

[@fionasfabrics3388]

Thank you so much, glad you’re finding the tutorials useful. Sue x

[@amywhetten1622]

Great tutorial! I find it easier to leave my opening in the bottom of the lining. Then the turning point is inside where you can't see it.

[@fionasfabrics3388]

Thanks! The turning point is inside, just down a side seam as opposed to the bottom, either works but as these are small when you look inside the side seam is less obvious.

[@Pip7-px3wq]

I agree, another great tutorial, thank you so much 🌺 but I really don’t like the music at all,there is no reason for it other than to make it difficult to hear the presentation 🙃 hopefully there will be no music in the future.

[@jeaniewinstrom6203]

Curious about using double fabric and interfacing as well - other patterns use a single piece of fabric and interfacing. Agree about the music being distracting. :)

[@fionasfabrics3388]

It all really depends on how stiff you want your basket to be and what fabric you use. Taken on board re music ✅

[@gerrybford]

Hi Fi, a bit late to the party, but I think I missed what weight of interfacing you used? I use H250 would this be sufficient? Which one did you use please? TIA xx

[@fionasfabrics3388]

It’s been a while to remember but you can use any interfacing, just depends how rigid you want them also what fabric you’re using. If you use curtain/ furnishing fabric then you could leave the interfacing out as these fabrics tend to be a heavier weight. They’re really useful containers 😁

[@sarahnicoll9859]

I am soo please with storage box if I mwant bigger ones what size do you make the corners? Thanks again

[@fionasfabrics3388]

You can make these any size you like, have a play on some scrap fabric. Keep in mind two things, the seam allowance on the base corner will make what you cut larger and you will need to add extra height to the sides of the container. So pleased you are enjoying your sewing.

[@curvaceouscook6414]

Another great tutorial, thank you Sue, just what I was looking for.
Am I the only person to wish you would lose the music? I find it so distracting, and know that people with impaired hearing, like my hubby, would also suffer!

[@fionasfabrics3388]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the feedback, I will let Stephanie know.

[@patriciaratchford2826]

Very good video except for the annoying background noise/music.

[@tamarasporn113]

Nice tutorial. Very irritating music.
