How to make a basket of cloth with your own hands?

1. We take two types of fabric of different colors, non-woven fabric, braid, scissors, pins and other necessary tools. Cut out the cuts of non-woven fabric and the main fabric (they should be the same size) and stack them one to the other. We need to prepare two identical parts. In the same way, we will do the same with the fabric for lining, pins of its edge with pins and then stitching on the machine. Keep in mind that both the lining fabric parts should be smaller by 1-1.5 cm, because the inner, small part of the basket will later be embedded in the outer, large.
2. Cut off the corners, connect the lower parts of the parts and spend them on the machine. This is how the bottom of the tissue basket looks from the outside. As you can see, the bottom is executed neatly and symmetrically. In the same way, we will decorate the inside of the basket.
3. The upper edges of the product should be trimmed to make the basket look neat. The inner part is turned inside out. Prikalyvayem to her braid with pins. It's better to use dark colors so that this place is not too edgy.
4. Then we put one box into the other, fix them with each other with pins and make a string on the braid. Now for our basket of fabric you need to sew handles. First, cut out three paired pieces of the necessary length and fold them as shown in the photo. Stitch the handles and cut off excess fabric that is left behind the line of the line.
5. The front and back sides of the basket handles will be different - it looks very original, especially if the coloring of the fabric on the handles duplicates the inner lining fabric. Sew the handle from the inside at a distance of 1 or 1.5 cm from the top edge of the product. A basket made of cloth, made by hand, can be decorated with a beautiful bow or other decorative elements. It is convenient to store materials for sewing or your other hobby.
