Baskets Galore

 I'm having so much fun making basket handles that I need to start sewing them at the sewing machine so that they don't lose the other pieces to them.


This is the tool that I use when I make basket handles.  I sew the bias strip right sides together and slip the purple part of the tool (the tube) into the casing.  I push the edge of the fabric down into the tube.  Shove it through and TA DA!  I won this notion at a quilt guild event as a door prize.  At the time I never thought I'd use it.  But look at me now!


Matched sets ready to sew!  The bottoms of the baskets need made.


Hopefully I'll have some pretty baskets to show off for Slow Sunday Stitching.

I like how you keep the turner pieces in the original packaging. It would be easy to lose a piece if they were just tossed into a drawer. I will have to keep my eyes out for one of those.
