Sewing gifts - tree pattern and fabric basket patterns

Pleated trees and reversible fabric baskets

SIMPLE ways to add charm to the presents for your loved ones!

Quick. Easy. Fun.

I love to add texture to my sewing projects.
These little pieces (made with the folded strips patterns- click here for details) are so fun to sew, the pieces are so delicate and special - I could make one every time I have beautiful fabrics available...

This year I wanted to explore new techniques that create texture so what do you think about this?

A pleated tree

A simple and easy technique that once you learn it, you can apply it on many other projects.

I made two panels and turned them into a bag, but you can finish your paneI into a table centerpiece, a pillow or a wall hanging.

Sew a gift bag!

The best gift-wrapping solution for sewing enthusiasts!

Instead of spending money on cardboard boxes and wrapping paper, sew a bag that will be used again and again...

Perfect for any season or occasion

Don't keep this project only for Christmas!
Change the fabric and everything will change!

Minimal quilting

This piece does not require too much quilting! Everything is done with the walking foot and you have a few options for quilting designs. All the details needed are included in the pattern.

You have the bag! What to put inside?

Pretty baskets!

3 designs - 6 different looks!

Because...
The baskets are reversible!

Design #1

You prepare an interfaced and lined piece of fabric in 10 minutes and in other 10 minutes the basket is finished!

Baskets turned into a little bags

Add strap(s), even plastic snaps and turn the basket into a pretty little bag - a little girl will adore it!

Made out of 10'' squares! Maybe you have some leftover pieces from a layer cake pack?

Reversible!

And a different look...

...
as I promised!

Design #2

So simple, so easy to stitch!

This is the piece required for each of these designs.

What is so special about these baskets?

After you prepare the piece (10 minutes!), this is what you have to do: some marking, 4 seams, some folding, a little pressing and a little hot glue (or stitching) - you will spend about 10 minutes to do it all!

But that's not all! The next part is even better!

The way each basket is assembled gives it not only a beautiful shape and beautiful details, it also strengthens the basket, giving it stability. At corners and on two sides there are multiple layers of interfaced fabric and they create these advantages.

PERFECT shape with minimal effort!

Turned on the other side

Different shapes!

Design #3

You can make square or rectangular baskets

Perfect storage solution

Great for storing craft supplies, baby stuff, small toys, cosmetics and much more...

Design your own baskets, in any size you need!
