Tutorial: Boxy fabric basket with piping

Niki from Roonie Ranching shares a tutorial for making a boxy fabric basket. She used to hold some Valentine’s treats for her son’s teacher. When teacher is done with the treats, she’ll have a handy fabric basket to organize her desk. It’s finished with piping at the side seams and around the top, and has a contrast lining that peeks over the top edge. The dimensions she gives will make basket that’s 6.5″ square, but you can adjust the dimensions to make one in any size.
