Sewing Pattern Tutorial: Easter basket from vintage sheets

Cathy from Year 27+1 has crafted an incredibly charming fabric Easter basket using vintage sheets, and she’s generously sharing her tutorial on how to make one for yourself. This DIY Easter basket is perfect for those who love upcycled crafts and want to create something unique and eco-friendly this holiday season.

What sets this basket apart is its beautiful vertical pleats, which give the outside a textured look that mimics a traditional woven basket. However, instead of using wicker, Cathy has cleverly used vintage sheets to create a soft yet durable basket perfect for holding Easter eggs or goodies. The vintage fabric adds a nostalgic and eco-conscious touch, making it a great choice for anyone looking to embrace sustainable crafting.

If you’re searching for an easy vintage sheet project that transforms everyday fabric into something both functional and beautiful, this is the perfect idea. Head over to Year 27+1 to see the full tutorial and learn how you can make your own fabric Easter basket this spring. Whether you’re making it as a gift or for your own Easter celebrations, this recycled craft is a wonderful way to celebrate the season with a creative, eco-friendly touch.
