- How to make a fabric coil basket with The Craft Corner in collaboration with Zero Waste Maynooth.
This is a sustainable sewing project aimed at helping you reduce your fabric waste, finding a home for all those small fabric scraps that you have kept for just this reason.
And you also end up with a very personalised custom storage basket.
I have now made several of these in different sizes and shapes. You can adapt the size, based on how big you make your base, that will decide the diameter.
I have gotten several questions about whether you can make these on a sewing machine and you absolutely could. My design is based on ones I have seen of rope coil baskets which are sewn on a machine using a zig zag stitch. It would of course depend on your machine as it would need to be able to do heavy duty sewing
But I quite like the slow process of the hand sewing. I will work away on a basket over the course of many months, I take it out in the evening and twist and stitch and slowly build the little coil basket as I sit listening to a podcast or watching something on netflix. I like to have my hands occupied and I find the process of these fabric coil baskets very zen to make.
I hope you like this project and it inspires you to make your own. Its very satisfying to save all those little scraps from the waste bin and have a basket at the end that tells its own story
I love to look at mine and say, well that row is my partners old pajamas, thats the bed sheet that got torn, there is my favourite top that finally got too worn to wear.
Clothes that have lived their lives getting another lease on life.

Is this method of coil wrapping the same as if one wants to make a rug? I need a rug for my very small kitchen but don't want to pay the outrageous prices if I can just take some of my scraps and make one for pennies! And can this be adjusted to great a rectangle rug instead of a circle? I suppose it would be a great deal of trial and error if one has never tried to make a rug or basket using the coil wrap method, yes?
Hi I havent used it to make a rug before but it would be the same basic principal. You just wouldn't turn it to start creating the sides. So basically keep going in the flat. I think it would be easiest as a circle, the corners would definitely make it harder. But you could certainly experiment! Do let me know how you get on! Vanessa
Certainly works as an oval shape. Just start with a longer strip in middle and work around it.
I hate fast motion speed. It gives me a headache.In United States we use. Inches not centimeters.
Im in Ireland and we use centimetres here, as for the fast motioin, that a bummer for you but Im sure you can find another free video to watch that isnt fast motion
Take care now.
The fst motion bits stopped the video from dragging. Im in Australia and appreciate cm's 😊
