MavenTV: How to Sew Basket Liners Without a Pattern!
August 3, 2009
If you ask me, a basket without a basket liner looks kinda naked. But sewing them can be a bit tricky, especially when you factor in those four tricky corners on the bottom. I decided there had to be an easier, fool proof way to make them. So, after some experimentation, I came up with a method that involves a little math but no pattern and–better yet–no corner sewing!
What you’ll need:
a sewing tape measure
a ruler
a pencil
fabric (you’ll see how to calculate the size in the video)
1/4″ elastic (you’ll see how to calculate its length in the video, as well)
a small to medium sized safety pin
straight pins
an iron and ironing board
a sewing machine, thread, scissors, etc.
and, of course, a basket
What you’ll do:
