To make this nice basket for small items you will need:
- One-color cotton fabric 25 cm x 25 cm

- Sewing thread no. 120
The instructions below provide the measurements for cutting out pattern pieces and the main steps for sewing the basket for small items.
Cutting out pattern pieces
Here are the pattern pieces and their dimensions. All dimensions are shown with sewing allowances. If not indicated otherwise, use a 1 cm seam allowance for all seams.
In total, you will cut out two different fabric shapes.
Steps for sewing the basket for small items
Step 1. When all the pattern pieces are cut out and ready, follow the steps below to sew them together.
Steg 2. Cut a 3 cm strip of one-colored material for the edging. If the strip consists of several parts, connect them at the ends. You can use this tape to edge around the edges of joined fabrics. In the picture, you can see the detail of the main basket for small items when edged.
Step 3. Turn the fabric with the solid dark fabric facing up. Mark 10 stitches with chalk as shown in the picture. The stitches are 1.5 cm wide and 3 cm long, sewn from 1,5 cm wide to the tapering end ( marked in red ). Sew all ten stitches like this.
And now our basket is ready to hold our small items. Its shape and design make our table look beautiful.
Good luck.
