week 42: Things I love

It's wednesday so time to speak about things I love.
Every wednesday I TRY to post about things I love today (or last week).

This week I'm loving:
online tutorials from awesome crafting people
 There are many awesome bloggers in the world wide web. I can spent hours reading their blogs and admire their creativity.
Ayumi is one of these awesome crafters. Her work always blows me away. I love how she mix fabrics and colours.
Ayumi has lots of great free tutorials on her blog as well. Since she posted about her little baskets I was waiting like crazy for the tutorial.
For the 12 gifts of christmas blog hop Ayumi finally posted her awesome basket tutorial.
Gladly I had enough time last weekend so I pulled out some nice autumn fabrics and made my first basket.


I love the apple print and the little squirrels. Both fabrics are in my stash for a little while already and I'm glad that I kept these for so long.


I used some thermolam plus for the squirrel basket. I like it but I definetly prefer my baskets to have a more firm look so I made another basket with some fast2fuse left over from my last project.


The basket is smaller than the squirrel basket. I think I prefer the small basket because I can fit more of them in my tiny sewing space.


Thank you Ayumi for posting this lovely tutorial.
I will definetly make a few more baskets in the next weeks.


I will give the squirrel basket to a friend and the tiny basket found a new home on my desk in the office filled with wallnuts and some autumn leaves.

  2. Thank you so much Isa for posting this! You have the cutest fabric stash, don't you?! I love every fabric you used for these baskets especially the orange apple one! And I love that you made a smaller version of the basket with firm interfacing! I definitely want to make one like that!
