I am making a dent in my fat quarter collection. The perfect place for premium picked fabric must be found. Not to big...not enough fabric. Not to small...too many scraps. This sewing project was just right.
Fat quarters from Nostalgic Organics in nursery hues.
Plastic liner carefully peeled out of a wicker doll carrier. Carefully, in order to maintain it for my pattern.
Just the right proportion for the three patterns of fabric.
I stitched a row of elastic around the outer rim of fabric to keep it snug against the wicker.
This was a quick little project that allows me to see this beautiful fabric daily. I can fill this basket with fat quarters all lined up in a row, felt, fabric scraps... I could go on and on as I love to organize.

Love it. Great idea and very attractive. Hugs ~ Mary
A little time, a little ingenuity, and a little fabric turned into a really, really great piece!
Absolutely darling. A lovely way to re-purpose a charming wicker carrier.
Renee this pink wicker is so much like the baby basket I have here for you!! The weave is a bit different but that color looks the same. I need to get on the ball for a box!!
It turned out so cute and looks just perfect in your studio. Don't you just love when you can take bits and pieces and turn them into something wonderful. It feels so gratifying!!
I love to re-organize! Problem being that when I do this, I still go to the old place and forget where the new place is!!!
Just darling! I love it and every other item on those shelves!!
Renee,
This is so cute and so you! I just can't believe how handy you are! I am still trying to get my shelves up!

You are so clever! I have decided to give all my smaller pieces to my granddaughter. I'm setting up a little sewing station for her in my new craft room. I can kinda clean out my space and give her lots of fun things to play with!
