This is a good table size basket and besides Halloween
candy, you can fill it with apples or
other fruit. It would make a nice
basket for dinner rolls on the holidays,
too.

available at:
Supplies To Make one 9 inch Basket
Finished size 9 inches in diameter and 9 inches high
Main Fabric----------1/2 yard
Lining Fabric---------1/2 yard
Heavy Duty Sew-In Interfacing----28 inches x 22 inches
1--8 ½ x 11 pieces of
freezer paper
2--8 ½ x 11 pieces of
tea-dye muslin
Matching thread
For each basket:
Cut 1 --9 inch circle from main fabric
Cut 1 --27 ½ inch x 9 inch side panel from main fabric
Cut 1 --9 inch circle from lining fabric
Cut 1 --27 ½ inch x 9 inch side panel from lining fabric
Cut 1 --9 inch circle from heavy duty interfacing
Cut 1 --27 ½ inch x 9 inch side panel from heavy duty

Printing the image.
You can buy
fabric sheets that are ready made for printing on or print the reversed images
that are included on to iron-on transfer paper which you then iron on to
muslin.
You can also iron
your muslin to the same size freezer paper
and print directly on to the fabric.
I recommend an Epson printer and Epson durabrite ink which is permanent
if you are going to do this as most other inks will wash out.
Print the feedsack image onto fabric:
Cut the printed image out, leaving ¼” seam allowance all around it. With right sides together, lay the image on a same size piece of
muslin. Stitch around, leaving a 2” opening for turning. Turn right side out and press.
You can also print
the reversed images on to fabric transfer paper and then iron the image on to
the front panel.
DIRECTIONS:
Layer the main fabric and interfacing circles together with
the fabric facing right side up. Pin
together and then zig zag them together around the outside edge.
With the right sides together, pin the main side panel to the
interfacing. Stitch together all around
the outside edge.
Pin the image in the middle of the main fabric side 3/4 inch
up from the bottom. Stitch it to the
main
fabric.
Now fold the panel over with right sides together so that
the side seams meet and the seam is aligned together. Pin and then stitch in a ¼ inch seam.
With the right sides together, pin the circle to the side panel at the
bottom.
With the circle against the feeddogs and using a ¼ inch seam
allowance, stitch around the seam.
Turn the basket right side out.
Make the lining basket the same as the main basket but
eliminating the interfacing. Leave the
lining wrong side out.
Set the main basket inside the lining basket. The right sides will be together.
Pin main basket to lining.
Stitch in a ¼ inch seam,
leaving a 5 inch opening for turning.
Turn the basket right side out through the opening.
Pin the basket and lining together evenly across the
top. Fold the open edges in ¼ inch and
pin. This opening will be sewn closed
as you stitch around the top.
Topstitch along the outside edge and your basket is
finished. Turn the top down to form a cuff if desired.
