Curbly Video Podcast: How to Sew Basket Liners…Without a Pattern!

by on Oct 3, 2008

If you ask me, a basket without a basket liner looks kinda naked. But sewing them can be a bit tricky, especially when you factor in those four tricky corners on the bottom. I decided there had to be an easier, fool proof way to make them. So, after some experimentation, I came up with a method that involves a little math but no pattern and–better yet–no corner sewing!

What you’ll need:

  • a sewing tape measure
  • a ruler
  • a pencil
  • fabric (you’ll see how to calculate the size in the video)
  • 1/4″ elastic (you’ll see how to calculate its length in the video, as well)
  • a small to medium sized safety pin
  • straight pins
  • an iron and ironing board
  • a sewing machine, thread, scissors, etc.
  • and, of course, a basket

What you’ll do:
