Divided Basket

Well this was a fun project!
I've been wanting to make this Divided Basket since I first saw it. The other day I found myself with a half yard of a very large scale print of Field Study linen and no idea of what to do with it (why oh why did I only buy half a yard!). I immediately thought I would make a bag but then that basket caught my eye when I was browsing through Anna's patterns (I've made the 241 Tote so I know how well written her patterns are).

As I was making this I started thinking it might be a great little item to sell at our local Etsy fall craft show.

The only thing I did differently from the pattern was use only the fusible fleece interfacing instead of that and the regular interfacing. I try my best to do as little interfacing ironing as possible LOL!

So fun and simple! I'm sure I'll be whipping up some more of these over the next few months.

This is so pretty! I love that fabric so much. I think I will break down and buy that pattern. I think a basket full of goodies would make such a nice gift : )
