Blue sky scrap basket

It was only scraps which I used - I chose the blue ones and green ones

and a few coloured ones which I liked.

My scraps are really very small - I cut them 3 cm large and some of them

were not longer than 10 cm.

And see the result - I am so satisfied with it. It looks happy -

like it was reflecting a blue sky which we didn't see for some time.

The photo below shows the clothesline on which I wrapped the bits of

fabric. I would not use this to hang my laundry on, however.

It is good for fixing furniture on trailers for a long transport -

it is strong enough. Nevertheless, the machine needle manages

to sew through it.

 

 
This is how I finished the basket - a spiral - with hand stitches.

I wish you all a creative week !

  1. What a pretty basket. It's amazing what one can do with just scraps. Blue is my favourite colour. Your coil finish makes it extra special.
