I love that the video is not interrupted when you want to pop away for a quick peek at the product links....it's the little things. Thanks for the tutorial and the free pattern.
Thank you ladies for this great tutorial. I have made one & will be making lots to share with family & friends. Annie I love your patterns & soft & stable
Marla Shanas thank you for your comment! I’m new to sewing and have never used foam. It’s not that I’m scared to use it, it’s that everything is shutdown right now and I wouldn’t know what on earth to order from Joann. Plus, I wouldn’t know if any Pellon foam would act the same way as that soft and stable. 😕
me either. I use batting and I get it from Walmart, its the same as Joann has and cheaper. Also watch carefully at Joann fabrics. There are a lot of strings and its ragged and uneven, especially the jelly rolls. I don't get fabric at Joann anymore. I get really stable and good fabric at Hobby Lobby or online at Riley Blake, Me and my sister designs or Carla Bowes
Marla Shanas I have batting from Walmart but I don’t know if it’s the right kind. I have the one that comes in a bag by Fairfield. It’s the poly-fil low loft quilt batting. Is that the right kind? Thank you for sharing stores you like to shop at! There’s a local fabric store and it’s kind of a warehouse. It’s amazing but I can’t go in and feel things so I’m a little lost! Thank you again!
You can use that but when quilts are washed, it tends to ball up some. Use the batting walmart has that's 100% cotton, called Warm and Natural. Will last a lot longer, I use it a LOT. Here in my town, its $13.00 Its big enough to make several quilts that are around 55 x 55. Good Luck with your quilts..:)
Thank you Annie and Kimberly for the awesome tutorial! I just finished four of the baskets for my sewing room and I know I will be making more! I LOVE the size!!!
Thank you for this design. I have been looking for something like this for my mother-in-law. I want to make her a fabric basket to place napkins in on her table. I plan to make this up first exactly as you have designed and then try to change the size to fit the paper napkins that she prefers to buy. I am no math wiz... but hopefully I can work it out. Thanks again for the inspiration!!
These baskets are so cute and functional! I'm going to have to make some. (I did make one with batting and you're right ..... it doesn't stand up very well.) I love your tutorials. Thanks for sharing!
Great tutorial! I have made many of these baskets now, some with batting , some with the soft and stable. Both work out great, but when I want the most stability, I use the soft and stable. If I don't mind a bit more flexibility in my basket, I use batting. Lots of fun to make, easy and so pretty and functional!
This is fun! Fun to make and fun to give. I gave them to lots of family and friends who all seemed to really enjoy receiving one. It 's a win-win quick project. It doesn't cost a lot for each basket either; I used a layer cake but you could also use yardage to cut multiples of the 9"x10" and the 10" x 10" fabric pieces.
I have made several of these little guys and love the soft & Stable and the little peek of lining on the top BUT if I wanted to make them say twice that size, What would the measurments be? I want to keep the peeking lining around the top. Just can't figure out measurements for larger baskets :)
I see what you are saying now and understand your confusion. No, you don't need to stitch on those lines. It does look like in the video we pressed them but I also don't think that is needed. Let me know if you have any further questions. I'm very happy to help :)
Hi Ladies🙂 I have had such fun making these. I have been experimenting with making larger and smaller ones to make a set of them as gifts. For some reason the smaller ones work but I am having problems with making larger ones. Would you please be willing to give us two larger measurements? Thanks for this tutorial.
Would like to make one big enough to hold my 9 by 13 glass dish. Seen a cool 9 by 13 dish holder on pintrest but cant figure out how to make it so sad.
Hi Emily! Great question! An easy way to add a lid would be to make a shallow version of the box that is slightly wider so it can close over the top. You could also attach a lid using grommets or buttons with string. If you do add a lid, definitely share with us what you chose to do!
Hello! I’m new to sewing. I love these little baskets! I need to make some! But what I’m wondering is if a Pellon foam of some kind would work out for this? I’ve never used foam so I just don’t know how they work 😕 can I use a fusible fleece? I don’t know how that would hold up either.
LOVE THESE i want to make them , i am working though is there a way to adapt this into a rectangle . I just bought a piece of furniture with a lot of cubby holes and need to make the baskets are 10in long 4 wide and 4 tall . If anyone can let me know what size i would need as the square to do this. I am new to these kind of projects but it would be awesome if i can make my own baskets because it is hard to find anything that size. THANKS
my sister just said to me just make a pattern out of cardboard then trace it on fabric, she said you've done it before, cant believe i didnt think of that LOL
Cute little basket!!! I'm making this basket right now and I'm a little confused about the lining. Do you sew on those drawn lines like on the fabric with the Soft and Stable or press on the lines?
have you made a small rectangular box? would love to have an idea what size of fabric I would need to make it and would I still mark the rectangular box like the petit. I would be gracious if you could give me your in put. Thank you I have made a couple of the petit boxes and really like them. Have a super day.
Hi! Great idea but I’m having trouble getting my lining to look flat. It looks too big for the basket and is quite crumpled. Any suggestions? Yes, I know this was posted 5+ years ago. Lol
Hello PCOH051610! Make sure that when you sew the lining that you are marking the extra ½ inch on the top. When you mark the lining mark with the line 2 ½” from the edge for the sides and 3” for top and bottom.
We are using the Rowenta Travel Iron found here: www.fatquartershop.com/compact-travel-steam-iron-by-rowenta-first-class We love this iron and the handle actually folds down for better storage!
I love that the video is not interrupted when you want to pop away for a quick peek at the product links....it's the little things. Thanks for the tutorial and the free pattern.
I’m 2 years later reviewing this but wow!!! I am excited to add this to my sewing project and the instructions, eassssy follow 🧵
Thank you ladies for this great tutorial. I have made one & will be making lots to share with family & friends. Annie I love your patterns & soft & stable
Great little baskets not only for yourself, but great gifts as well. You could also use fusible tape for that little opening in the lining.
Thank you for the great tutorial, Annie and Kimberly! I love all the details in your tutorials. I just made a basket for my Wonder Clips. 🎉🥳🍉
I love this tutorial!!! Very detailed. I feel I can make this successfully.
I just used a piece of batting...works just as good and is cheaper than soft and stable and holds very nicely.

I love how easy your videos are to understand!
What a cute little box, you could use these for endless amount of things
I received my soft & stable today. Have my fabric cut and I'm ready to see tomorrow.
After sewing with soft & stable I don't think I like it.
Thank you! By Annie's patterns are so well thought out! This is going on my To-Do list :-)
I love Soft and STABLE.
Thank you for more ideas for Soft & Stable. I may have time to make some mini Easter baskets for neighbors!

Thank you so much for sharing this box I just think it’s great for storage like you said wonder clips and so on thanks a bunch! ❤️❤️
What a cute basket! Thanks for the tutorial.

Just what I was looking for! TY!
Great tutorial
Thank you so much for a great video.
Beautiful baskets!!
Adorable!
I AMGOING TO TRY TO MAKE THESE THANK YOU ALL FOR SHARING THIS LOVE IT AGAIN THANK YOU
Love this!! Thank you for the tutorial!!
So cute. thank you
Love this!
So darn cute!!
Sorry. I guess I worded that wrong. I'm asking about the second fabric without the Soft and Stable. Thank you for helping me figure this out. 😊
I see what you are saying now and understand your confusion. No, you don't need to stitch on those lines. It does look like in the video we pressed them but I also don't think that is needed. Let me know if you have any further questions. I'm very happy to help :)
O
I made one today, thank uou.

For some reason the smaller ones work but I am having problems with making larger ones. Would you please be willing to give us two larger measurements? Thanks for this tutorial.
Hello Cathryn! ByAnnie has not announced that she will be offering larger sizes. You can try contacting her directly and see if she can help you.
Maravilhoso adorei!
Would like to make one big enough to hold my 9 by 13 glass dish. Seen a cool 9 by 13 dish holder on pintrest but cant figure out how to make it so sad.
So cute if you quilt your fabric this would nice
I made one before without issues, but this time the lining is much wider than the exterior when I try to sew the two together???
The measurements for cutting the lining and the soft and stable on your written project are different from your video.
I wish there was a PDF for this with all the directions and measurements....
Fyi... i found one on the by Annie website www.byannie.com/petit-four-baskets
Could you make a box with a lid, using a slightly smaller one for the lid?
Hi Emily! Great question! An easy way to add a lid would be to make a shallow version of the box that is slightly wider so it can close over the top. You could also attach a lid using grommets or buttons with string. If you do add a lid, definitely share with us what you chose to do!

Hello Jenifer! We highly recommend using Soft and Stable for this project.
Cute!!!
I can't wait to make the basket, but I don't have'soft-and-stable' can't I just use my batting? I'll pick one that's more stable.
LOVE THESE i want to make them , i am working though is there a way to adapt this into a rectangle . I just bought a piece of furniture with a lot of cubby holes and need to make the baskets are 10in long 4 wide and 4 tall . If anyone can let me know what size i would need as the square to do this.

my sister just said to me just make a pattern out of cardboard then trace it on fabric, she said you've done it before, cant believe i didnt think of that LOL
When you measure in half inch (at 3.34 minutes) are you measuring from the raw edge or from the previously stitched line?
Hi Cindy! You measure from the raw edge.
Cute little basket!!! I'm making this basket right now and I'm a little confused about the lining. Do you sew on those drawn lines like on the fabric with the Soft and Stable or press on the lines?
Yes, as you will notice at the 2:45 mark you stitch directly on the drawn lines. This will join your soft and stable and fabric.
No, they are there for a guide to cut out the rectangles.
Cool 😃👍
I love the tutorial, is there a printed pattern somewhere?
The pattern is only available as a PDF.
Great Tutorial - but somehow the measurements did not work out for me - will try again.
I know that this is an old video but do you remember what the pattern name is for the quilt behind you?
Hello Carmen! That is the Patchwork Quilt blog.fatquartershop.com/patchwork-quilt-along/
have you made a small rectangular box? would love to have an idea what size of fabric I would need to make it and would I still mark the rectangular box like the petit. I would be gracious if you could give me your in put. Thank you I have made a couple of the petit boxes and really like them. Have a super day.
No, we have only made this square box so we don't have information for making it a different shape. Sorry about that.
Such cute little gifts thank you for that would i be able to get the filling in the uk please ?
Certainly, we ship internationally! Here is the link to the Soft and Stable: www.fatquartershop.com/soft-and-stable-36-x-58-100-polyester-stabilizer
small bubble basket for clips please. sometime they call them bubble pods.
Hi! Great idea but I’m having trouble getting my lining to look flat. It looks too big for the basket and is quite crumpled. Any suggestions? Yes, I know this was posted 5+ years ago. Lol
Hello PCOH051610! Make sure that when you sew the lining that you are marking the extra ½ inch on the top.
When you mark the lining mark with the line 2 ½” from the edge for the sides and 3” for top and bottom.
Thank you for this tutorial. Do you have written directions for this project?
Elizabeth Kuntz
HI Elizabeth, we do not have written directions for this project
Annie is selling this pattern now.
Fat Quarter Shop could you please send it to me. Thanks. Threadheads@hotmail.com
Elizabeth Kuntz Did you get the written instructions?
How lovely! Thanks! I have a question: what brand of iron did you use? I think the size it's perfect for my future college girl
We are using the Rowenta Travel Iron found here: www.fatquartershop.com/compact-travel-steam-iron-by-rowenta-first-class We love this iron and the handle actually folds down for better storage!
Thank you for the fast response! We are shopping for dorm stuff right now!!!!
Would love to see instruction on how to make this any size.
Made four of these. Wonderful tutorial. I really would love to know how to change up the sizes. I tried, but it was not easy to do.
Whats the information on the soft n stable what kind do i buy
Hello Kelly! Here is the link to the Soft and Stable used in the video: www.fatquartershop.com/soft-and-stable-36-x-58-100-polyester-stabilizer
After inserting the cube inside the lining, I'm running into a problem......The lining is 1/2" taller. Anyone know what i'm doing wrong?
It's supposed to be that way to fold over onto the outside for a top trim.
What would happen if I made it with batting?
That's correct Betty... if you use traditional batting the basket wouldn't hold its firm shape.
I have fusible fleece. Could i use this?
Hello Becky! You can, however fleece will not have the same sturdiness of ByAnnie's Soft and Stable
Thank you. I will be ordering some. In the mean time, anything else i could use?
Walking foot used? Written instructions please?
HI Venora, we do not have written instructions for this basket. You can use a walking foot for this project
What's the stitch length?
2.5 stitch length is what we used on this project. Let us know if you have any further questions. Thanks!
Where can I find a ironing board like that?
Manda Carlisle-Perry it looks like a sleeve arm but I like it and want one too!
They are called sleeve boards. I just checked and JoAnns and Amazon both have them. I LOVE mine!
Manda Carlisle-Perry I just found a link in the bio :)
