The tops were trimmed with colourful fabric from stash, corset boning was inserted into the fold to keep the baskets opened wide.
They are each 10" tall, 9.5" wide, 4.5" deep, designed to fit the specific space I wanted them for.
The top flap showing here…
…was folded to the back to make a channel for the metal bar they are suspended on.
Before assembling, another internal channel was stitched in case the baskets end up needing a little piece of stiff card or wood inserted to help them keep the front stiff and flat.
They don’t seem to need any help but I’m glad it’s there as an option.
There’s hard card inside for flat bottoms.
The lower bar is suspended by this flat chain, it’s very secure despite all the weight.
Already filled up. But the table is still messy, ack! Guess I could have used 3 rows, lol.

Nice; I love the rainbow edge bindings!
Some stitchers substitute plastic zip ties for corset boning, in case someone wants to be inspired and use what they have on hand…

These are great, they look very chic and are very well thought through. I like the addition of the extra security channel. I might make something similar. As they would be really useful at my cutting bench

They look like they’ve always been there, what was I doing before?
Oh ya, this work surface was almost totally covered with baskets, ha!
Now I just have to do something with that pile underneath. At least it’s pretty organized?

It really helped clean up the peg board. When Rob would come sit in there his head was right under a row of sharp scissors & rotary cutters. Scary!
