Handy Baskets Pattern
Handy Baskets by Sharon Holland featuring Spirited fabrics for Art Gallery Fabrics
Sewing with my new Spirited fabric collection for Art Gallery has been such a joy—I can’t stop thinking of new projects!
With every collection I like to add a new free project to my FREE PROJECTS page and have been wanting to create a fun basket pattern for some time now. With the holidays right around the corner, it’s always nice to give and get handmade gifts. It’s even better when those gifts are practical and can be used all year round—these Handy Baskets are perfect for the job.
The Handy Baskets are a petite size of 6” high, 5” wide, and 5” deep. Just right for small items, a gift bag, or a modern-take on the traditional stocking because they have a loop for hanging.
With a fat eighth each of your three favorite Spirited prints and a half yard of Cork fabric from Sallie Tomato, you can quickly stitch up three baskets! There’s no interfacing needed because the cork adds all the body necessary to keep the baskets standing up sturdy. Using cork has the added bonus of being easy to wipe down, if needed.
Spirited fabrics pictured from left to right: Boundless Spirit Sorrel, Rambling Rose Briar, and Calico Days Aqua. See full collection HERE.
These Handy Baskets are fully reversible and they’re just, plain, handy for organizing kids toys, crayons, toiletries…
Or, for more organization in your sewing space that’s also pretty!
Spirited quilting cottons, knits, and rayons are shipping to quilt shops everywhere. I’ve started a stock lists of online shops for this collection on my FABRICS page and will continue to add links as more shops get their listings up. If your local quilt shop hasn’t ordered it yet, let them know you’d like to sew with these prints and feel the AGF difference for yourself at your favorite shop.
When you do make a project with my fabrics, don’t forget to tag me on Instagram @sharonhollanddesigns because I love to see what you’re sewing! And tag the Spirited collection as well with #AGFSpirited.
—Happy sewing!
