Another Linen Zakka Inspired Sewing Basket

I told you these are multiplying around the house. I had it cut for a while and finally finished it this week. They are linen and measure 6" by 4" by 3".

Linen Zakka Inspired Sewing Basket


My tutorial is here if you are interested in making one. I use the flower tutorial here for the leaves.

I have been trying to finish some old stuff since I feel guilty about the Dresden Plate blocks that I have begun. I should have something to show next week. It been a productive sewing week, but this week has been busy, busy, busy with all the end of school year stuff and my tutoring schedule has been full at night.  (School year ends June 3 here.) I am worst than the kids. I can't wait until summer starts.

And remember to go visit Sew and Tell. There are more talented and crafty people than me out there.

  6. LOL! I guess great minds think alike don't they?

    Love the ric rac and flower...I have one I'm working on that needs a little something, and since it's my belief that ric rac is the answer to the whole world's problems, I may just have to be inspired by your basket :)

  10. What a delightful basket! Hmmm, just so many cool things could go in a basket like that. I'm thinking about all my hand-quilting stuff.... As soon as I'm caught up on some WIPs I just may make one for myself.
