My first official Finished on Friday post: remember this basket? Back in September I mentioned that it was ready for a lining. Then it sat around for a few months before I decided to just start using it.
Without a lining, though, the sides were getting a little saggy and our napkins were getting a little wooly. Not only that, but every time I sat down at the kitchen table I felt UFO Guilt. (UFO=unfinished object)
It didn’t take that long to do: just a little sewing in the afternoon and some hand-stitching in the evening.
stash: I wound up using some leftover upholstery fabric from the rollie pollie.
What did you finish this week? Share in the comments!
Cute!
Do you use fusible interfacing on this kind of project? Does the lining really give enough body to keep it from sagging?
I (started and) finished a *huge* AB swing bag… sadly, it’s just not my style after all that work! Oh well. I’ve already figured out modifications that may make the next one more “me” — if there is a next one.
Trying something similar – a crochet laundry basket for the new baby’s room, but attempting to ‘wing it’ and trying it all out miniature in wool first.
I like yours though!
Very clever!
I sewed on a button that had fallen off…A MAJOR accomplishment for me. :)
