A few months ago I read about this great tutorial for fabric buckets on Deb's blog. Something I definitely wanted to do and make, and so I did! A couple of gifts for a couple of amazing ladies.
The longest part was laying out all the bits to make sure they roughly fit and then sewing all those bitty pieces together. Some as small as 1.5"!
Both were made entirely from fabric and scraps in my stash. I only had super stiff interfacing, so attached vertical strips at intervals to fortify the sides. It seemed to work ok.
The tutorial was clear and helpful - and I will be making one or two more in time :)
