Make an Easter basket that kids will love when you sew it from scratch! When you sew a fabric Easter basket, you can choose exactly the colors and prints that suit your child’s personality. And you can use the basket year after year for a handmade Easter tradition.

Baskets are not as hard to sew as you’d think they’d be. The construction is actually pretty simple. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to add extra personality with details. We’ve rounded up 12 sewing tutorials showing how you can make your own fabric Easter baskets. There are even a couple of no-sew tutorials if you’re short on time.

These fabric Easter baskets are all so cute!! And they’ll be even more fun once they’re filled with eggs, and the Easter bunny has visited and left treats in them!
