Baby sewing

So as well as my goals from my last post and my list of UFOs I also mentioned that I wanted to do some sewing for the baby.

Emma had made some of these fabric buckets for her baby and she pointed me in the direction of this lovely tutorial from The Stitchin' Chicken.


Nursery Storage Bucket


These are super easy to make and took me less than an hour each.  Each basket uses just 2 Fat Quarters (so 4 FQs busted!)

They can be customised to any size and are just made of fabric and wadding.  However I think if I made them any bigger I would want to add some interfacing which would make them a little more fiddly to make.

I've got lots of ideas of things to make for the baby - I'm not planning on getting them all done before March but it's something to work on!
