Tutorial: Fabric bucket with a drawstring top

I am loving these fabric buckets! The piecing on the sides is so cute, and the drawstring top keeps all your stuff inside. Sew4Home shares a tutorial for making them. Finished dimensions are 11″ tall (bucket base only) x 8 1/2″ diameter. With the drawstring portion fully extended, the height is 16″ tall.
