A cute soft toy basket can be made from an unnecessary leaky knitted sheet or duvet cover. This basket will look great in a nursery.
It is necessary
- - denim threads;
- - scissors, needle;
- - 2 pcs. pins;
- - hammer (for fastening eyelets);
- - 4 things. eyelets (fastening device);
- - 4 m of fabric (any available material 1.5 m wide);
Instructions
Step 1
Cut the fabric into long strips 10-15 cm wide. Stretch the strips slightly so that the edges curl inward. Roll each strip into a separate ball for the convenience of further weaving.
Step 2
Weave an ordinary long braid of three strips about 2 m long, braid tightly and secure with a pin at the end to keep the braid tight. It is not worth weaving too long a braid from all the material at once, as it will be difficult to sew.
Step 3
Begin sewing the bottom of the basket from the center in a circle with a needle back stitch. When the braid is finished, continue braiding the tight braid by sewing the next strips of fabric to its ends. To avoid a noticeable small seal in the braid from sewing the strips, tighten the braid in this place while weaving.
Step 4
Having made the bottom of the basket with a diameter of 30 cm, continue making the sidewall. When sewing on the side braid, adjust the bend with your hands, bending it up and sewing it on to get a smooth transition.
Step 5
Then sew the braid to a height of 27 cm. Install the eyelets, after having sewn the holes and secured with threads so that the braid does not crawl. Braid the handles. Insert the handles, tie their ends into a knot.
