I first saw the fabric baskets on EverythingEtsy and then posted about them here. The tutorial which is here came from Christina at The Sometimes Crafter and when I told her that I was going to try these she wrote to me and told me about leaving the opening in an inside corner instead of the top as she originally put in her tutorial. She told me she was going to update her tutorial but hadn't had a chance yet.
It was great advice and worked out perfectly. It helps give the top a smoother uniform finish just like she said it would. I've been using my little fabric box on my desk since I finished it and it has stayed full and has been very useful. I had to empty it out to get some photos so you could see the inside. Since I used scraps from the my pillows I actually only had to buy the batting. The only problem is now I have batting left over and need some more fun fabric to make another one! Oh, and also a new sewing machine because mine is broken!

Very, very cute! You've been busy!
Those magnets are gorgeous!!! :) Thanks for the visit. :)
You are clever, I love the baskets. Very cool :)
What is wrong with your sewing machine? What is it doing? I would be lost without mine~!
Oh, and I already had the business cards--I got them at Vista Print, and have used that design for several years. The labels were made custom for me to match the business cards. I love them!
The fabric baskets look fantastic!
I'm inspired! Now if only I knew how to *make* such things. Or had time to figure them out. :)
Those magnets are beautiful, great job!!
Also, thanks for your sweet comments about my blocks!! They are so addictive to make, I'm trying not to give them to everyone I know :)
Have a great week!
I love that basket!

i'm convinced everything looks good if the fabric chosen is fantastic (and i don't mean to sound bad) ... and your fabric choices are brilliant.
I like those fabric baskets. Very cute and stylish.
Your crafts are so unique & beautiful!
What great projects. I've been wanting to do some fabric baskets myself.
