Tutorial: Leather handle fabric storage baskets

Storage baskets like these can help control the clutter in your house. Made from a linen with a bright cotton lining and leather handles, they also happen to be quite attractive. Minki from Minki’s Work Table shares a tutorial showing how you can make them. She shows them put to use in her craft space, holding washi tape and other craft supplies. You could also use them in the bathroom to organize toiletries, or in a child’s room to hold small toys or hair accessories. I could also see them being useful in a kitchen pantry to hold spice mixes and other packets. If you use her dimensions, the baskets will be roughly 4″ x 6″, but you can easily adjust the dimensions to make them in any size.
