We were given the choice of making one of two types of fabric baskets. Both are from tutorials by the amazing Ayumi Mills. I chose to make my partner the basket with handles. I absolutely love it! The tutorial is great (as usual) and I kind of want to keep it now.
My partner likes all things sea related and so I added a diving mermaid to the front of the basket. I really struggled with stitching the applique down as I have only ever done it by hand before but I think I did a pretty good job.
I am planning on making some coasters to go along with this in an orange and aqua "snail trail" pattern, keeping with the wave theme.
Go ahead and make a little basket for yourself, I am hoping I get one like this in my swap so I can put my cuttings in there as I trim :)
This is SO cute! I like the coaster idea too. I wish I was your partner! ;) I might pop over and try to make a basket, thanks.
ReplyDeleteOh Katy, your basket for your partner turned out so beautiful! So sweet of you to think of her and to add the wave applique! And coasters to go with it?? I think she will love them!!!!
