What material do you need to make a denim basket?
You only need 1 pair of children’s jeans to make a denim basket. However, we used 5 pairs for the chevron because we wanted different shades of blues and black material. You can use any denim you have on hand to make the denim baskets. If you want a basket with a pocket on the front, we recommend children’s jeans as the small size pocket is a perfect fit. Don’t have denim, check out your local second hand store for a pair or two.
What material do you need to make a fabric basket?
If you want to sew a basket from fabric, you have even more options. You can buy new fabric or use material you have on hand such as clothing and bed linens. This is a great time to upcycle fabrics that are worn or neglected or have a stain or two (just cut around those bad spots). The second hand store is also a great resource because you can browse all the clothing departments (children, men’s women’s) as well as the linens. We recommend cotton fibers for new sewists.
How much material is needed to sew a denim basket?
The denim basket and fabric basket each require 3 layers of fabric.
- Layer 1: The outside fabric (such as denim or cotton)
(2) pieces at least 12″ x 17″ - Layer 2: The inside lining fabric (such as muslin or cotton)
(2) pieces at least 13″ x 17″ - Layer 3: The stabilizer (ultra firm – fusible or non-fusible)
(1) piece at least 20″ x 24″
You’ll also need thread to match your fabric.
