Tutorial: Braided fabric Easter basket

March 18, 2018 by Anne Weaver

Tutorial: Braided fabric Easter basket

We all have those fabrics in our stash that leave us scratching our heads, wondering, “Why did I buy this?” Or perhaps you’ve been gifted fabric and just aren’t sure how to use it. Either way, don’t let those leftover or unused fabrics go to waste! Instead of letting them sit in your drawer, why not transform them into a beautiful, upcycled braided fabric basket? Not only is it a fantastic way to make use of those unwanted fabrics, but it also gives you a unique, handmade piece that’s perfect for Easter or can be used year-round for storage, organization, or decor!

Danielle from DIY Danielle has a wonderful, easy-to-follow tutorial that shows you exactly how to make this charming braided fabric basket. It’s a simple project, but the results are so rewarding, and you can customize it to fit any color scheme or style. This is a perfect solution to that leftover fabric pile you’ve been wondering what to do with, as it allows you to be both creative and eco-friendly by repurposing fabric into something practical and beautiful.

Whether you’re making it to hold Easter treats, store small items around the house, or even gift it to a friend, this upcycled fabric basket is sure to become a treasured item. Plus, it’s a great way to dive into a craft project that doesn’t require a ton of time or expensive materials. All you need is some fabric, a bit of creativity, and a few simple steps to create a basket that will be both functional and stylish.

Click below for Danielle’s full tutorial and learn how to turn your leftover fabrics into a stunning Easter basket or an everyday treasure!

30 Jumpsuits You Can Sew Yourself – From Effortless Weekend Wear to Showstopping Styles

Let’s talk about the magic of jumpsuits.

One piece. Endless style. Zero outfit math.

Whether you’re living in your sewing studio or just dipping your toes into garment-making, there’s a jumpsuit pattern out there with your name on it. Think about it:

• Instant outfit (no more staring at your closet at 8am)
• Comfort that looks chic (secret pajama vibes, but make it fashion)
• Custom-fit perfection (goodbye gaping backs and too-long straps!)

But here’s the problem – store-bought jumpsuits never seem to get it quite right. The waist hits at the wrong spot. The straps dig in. The fabric feels cheap.

That’s why we’ve hunted down 30 incredible jumpsuit patterns – from easy-breezy weekend rompers to sleek, tailored styles that’ll make you feel like a fashion designer. And the best part? Many of these are absolutely FREE.
