Tutorial: French grain sack fabric basket

Jess from The Sewing Rabbit shows how you can make a fabric basket out of a French grain sack.  Notice how it stands up straight – that’s because she adds structure to the inside with a piece of plastic.  It stands up on its own.  Or, because it’s curved at the front and flat on the back, you can also hang it on a wall. The printed burlap gives a vintage feel to the fabric basket.  If you don’t have a grain sack, you could also use a coffee bag.  Or, maybe stencil your own design on to some burlap yardage.
