As luck would have it, I had the exact same fabric my customer initially liked- and enough of it to make her the basket she envisioned!
~*~
I began by cutting the entire twin sheet into a long strip about 2 inches wide.

Then, I made the base. Here it is at about 10 inches wide, 3 inches tall.

I was so excited to start the loopy part! This is with one row of tutu fluff...~*~
...and *eeek!* here she is with the double row of ruffles.~*~
Finally, I finished her off with a super sturdy handle. I had to break into sheet number two about midway through the second loopy row. No matter how many bowls, baskets, rugs or trivets I make, I am always stunned at how much fabric goes into this work.

Tah dah!!! Here she is; 100% fabric, 100% ecofriendly, 100% awesome (maybe I'm a little biased). I really do feel like a proud Easter bunny helper, though.
