Makeover Part Two

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.

Makeover Monday: 3/22

Good Monday morning! I have a two part makeover for you this week, and it comes from a custom basket request that I received yesterday. My task is to make a basket shaped like this:

In a color like this:

With a little bit of this kind of *tutuness* around the top:

I am so thrilled with this challenge! This is to be a true heirloom, as it is being made for an 18 month old little girl to be her "forever" Easter basket. Come back tomorrow to see how I did!
