How to Make a Fabric Basket from a Layer Cake!

Creating a fabric basket using layer cake squares is a delightful and practical sewing project, perfect for organizing your space or gifting to others! Here's a step-by-step guide to creating your own layer cake fabric basket!

Materials Needed:

Layer Cake Squares: (2) 10" x 10" fabric squares.
Batting: (1) 10" x 10" square.
Spray Adhesive (505 Spray)
Buttons, needle, and thread
Basic Sewing Supplies: Sewing machine, iron, scissors, clips or pins, ruler, and marking pen.

Instructions:

Spray a bit of adhesive to the batting and place (1) 10" square on top, right side up.
Place the next fabric piece on top, right sides together.
Sew a 1/4" seam around all four sides. Leave a small opening to be able to turn right side out.
Clip your corners and turn right side out.
Topstitch all the way around to close that opening.
Fold the project in half, making it 5" x 10".
Measure 2-1/4" up from the corner and mark that point.
Measure 2-1/4" across and mark.
Draw a line to connect those two dots. This is where you will sew.
Repeat steps 7-9 on the opposite side.
Once you've sewn on both drawn lines, open up your project as shown and repeat steps 7-9 for the remaining two corners.
Once you've boxed all four corners, you're now ready to make your outside pockets! Push down the center of the "flaps" that were created at each corner. Place a pin to hold in place as you stitch down where the red lines are indicated. Do that for all four pockets.
Fold the side corners down and secure in place with a button.
