Quick and Easy Foldable Baskets

I ran across this easy foldable basket pattern when I was stalking for a basket swap. I had to try it. More fun when I found a size calculator on her Facebook.

So I practiced on a few layer cake pieces.

These are cute! I’m glad you gave us two pics because they are longer and more shallow than I thought. I like that size. Pretty fabric, especially the blue.

Cute! I made these for @jemimah for a Christmas swap.

Yes, they are narrower, but useful for things like floss, pencils, utensils, etc.

I also downloaded the calculator.

@gozer I think the second picture shows how they fold flat…that comes in handy for mailing!

I love them! I have small art supplies in them and they look so good on my studio shelf :heart:

Your ones turned out really cute @marionberries!

I want to try some deeper ones. I was using 10 inch squares which was limiting and going for a shallow candy or catch-all basket. They are amazingly quick.

I will make some for the Holiday Fair at church.

And two more. All from 10 inch squares. Cutoffs used for handles. I will be making larger ones, but these are fun.

First set sizes were 4 x 4 x 2 and 4.25 x 4.25 x 2 inches.

New ones are 3 x 3 x 3 and 3.5 x 3.5 x 2.75 inches.

These are awesome, yours look lovely and thank you for sharing the pattern. This could be a great make for work - we hot desk so can’t have any permanent storage, but my desk gets very chaotic over the day :sweat_smile:

And I’ve made my first one. It was great fun and straightforward. Took me about 40 min before work, but I’m not the quickest person.

I cut my interfacing 3/4” smaller all round which made it easy to press the hems and sew the seams as I could use it as a guide

Adorable! I love the polka dots and dark fabric combo. Sweet.

Cute!

The tip to reduce the interfacing is a good one! Thanks.
