Tutorial: Sew a Halloween treat basket

Sew up a cute fabric basket to hold your Halloween treats! Jennifer from Ellison Lane shares a tutorial at the Dritz blog Make Something showing how you can make one.  The little basket is made from a main fabric and an accent stripe around the top, and has little ribbon handles coming through grommets at the sides. Foam stabilizer gives it structure so the sides hold their shape.  It’s cute for Halloween treats, but the same design would work for everyday home decor or organization if sewn up in different fabrics.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
