Tutorial: Fabric Bucket/Basket | The Stitchin’ Chicken
It’s been a long week! I meant to post this sooner, but other things kept getting in the way. Better late than never? Anyhow, please read through the entire tutorial before you start. I will have a few tips at the end, that may help you to make decisions on the materials that you use. You’ll know what I mean after you read through. This bucket/basket (I will refer to it as a bucket as we go through) is approximately 8″ wide x 6″ deep x 6″tall. Materials: Approx. 1/2 yd each – fabric for outside and fabric for liner Batting – 1/2 yd in length (please see notes at the end) Matching thread for assembly (you can use a contrasting thread for final top stitching if you choose) graph paper (or your choice of material to draw a pattern out on – see notes at the end) ruler pencil pins walking foot for machine (not required, but it makes it a lot easier to sew with the batting) First I am going to show you how to draw out a pattern.

Collapsable Fabric Storage Totes / Articles
How do you make organization fun, functional and fashionable? Believe it or not, that is not a trick question. Custom storage totes can solve a variety of organizational challenges. Whether you have storage needs around the house or when you are on the go, a collapsible tote can be used for a variety of purposes. In addition, it can be designed to meet size and decorating preferences. To get started, determine the height, width and length of the tote you intend to make. Use the pattern to cut two pieces of fabric. If you wish to add handles to the tote, cut a length of webbing and sew it to the right side of the fabric. Once the handles are attached, place both pieces of fabric together (wrong sides facing each other). With the lining fabric facing you, begin to match and stitch the edges of the tote. When all of the sides are stitched, turn the tote right side out. The finished tote will collapse for easy storage. Organize miscellaneous supplies in your car with a tote. Supply List
How to Make Leaf Skeletons | The Idea Room
I wanted to share with you a project from one of my readers who shares with us how to make leaf skeletons. I LOVE this! I have several leafs in various forms displayed in my home and knew I needed to make some of her leaf skeletons to add to my decor. I have spent hours and tried various ways of making these. You need washing soda, not baking soda! Gather your leaves. Washing soda is a strong base so you may want to wear gloves when handling the leaves. You will add 3/4 cup of washing soda and 4 cups of water to your pot of leaves. Keep going, you will need to add more water so your pan doesn’t dry out. When 1.75 hours are up fill a glass baking dish with cool water. I carefully removed them and rinsed with water and added clean water to the pan. If you’re still with me, this is what I ended up with… I have a maple leaf which turned out not so well. 37.1Kstumbleupon
