Everyone loves baskets, right?...especially those pretty baskets with liners! But they can be so expensive! So I am going to show you how to take the baskets you already have and add liners…the no-sew way!

- a square or rectangular basket
- fabric of your choice (I used natural duck because I liked the little flecks of brown in it. How much you will need will depend on the size of your basket.)
- iron-on hem tape
- jute twine
- measuring tape
- hot glue gun
- scissors
![Measure basket1 Measure basket1](http://lh3.ggpht.com/-lDDJvMVqTxo/Uh1nR-9aBAI/AAAAAAAAZg8/ZjfFOwl1AZE/rw/Measure%252520basket1_thumb%25255B8%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800)
- First, measure your basket using a flexible measuring tape. Start on the outside and measure to allow for the length of the outer edge of the liner (I wanted mine to be three inches).
- Continue down into the inside…
- across the bottom...
- and up the inside of the other side...
- and then end with the outer length on the other side. Take this measurement and add one inch to allow for finishing.
- Then measure the width of that side and add one inch to that measurement.
If you have a basket with different length sides, you will need to repeat the process on the opposite side. That was the case with mine. My second strip was 23 inches by 10 inches. Obviously, your measurements will depend on the size of your basket.

- Press in one-half inch on all four sides of each strip, overlapping at the corners.
- Cut away a little diagonal piece at each corner so that the hem tape will be able to adhere to all sides.
- Cut a piece of the iron-on hem tape and slide it under the fold of the fabric. Follow the directions on the package and press the tape into place. The tape will fuse the fold in place.
- I found that I had to go back after I had finished and give the corners a little diagonal cut to make them look neater.
- You now have two strips with finished edges.
- Measure one half the length of the outer edge of the liner and place a little mark on the inside of the strip with a pencil. The outer edge of my liner is 3 inches, so I marked each side at 1 1/2 inches.
- Place a dot of hot glue at each mark and add a length of jute twine which will serve as the tie. (Ten inches worked well for me). Use a bamboo skewer or toothpick to press the twine into place so that you don’t get burned. Ouch!
- Finally, place one strip in the basket with the finished edge down and then layer the other strip across it diagonally. Tie the edges and then smooth the strips into place inside the basket.

Debbie- i love these! you always amaze me.
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous, Debbie! Your tutorial is so well written!
ReplyDeleteSmiles,
Carol
These are great, Debbie! As someone who used to have buffets quite a bit when entertaining, these would have been so much nicer than sticking the utensils in plastic cups {even if they were plastic utensils}. I could even see someone who doesn't have a lot of kitchen storage {like in an apartment or dorm} using these to hold their cutlery.
ReplyDeleteDebbie these turned out really well. I love the graphics you added. I too think the twine ties are a really cute touch! I always love your projects! Off to visit others.
ReplyDeletehugs,
Linda
I love it this is so cute. You always amaze me with your talent. Hugs, marty
ReplyDeleteI love love love this project, Debbie! It looks just like something I would have at StoneGable. You betcha I'm going to be making these! I was so excited to see all the details!!! You really are so so creative!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely! This is such a neat idea, I definitely want to try it. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. These are amazing and so pretty! I think your transfers are perfect too. Now I want some basket liners, new napkins AND those monogrammed towels! Incredible inspiration and beautiful post. I have loved being a part of the No Sew Showcase with you. ~ Ann

ReplyDeletexo Kathysue
PS I think you need to open an etsy shop and start selling some of these wonderful items!
Hi Debbie I am so EXCITED about this and the other no sew projects. I can't wait to do this and other projects that may appeal to me. It is GREAT to have no sew options for us girls who can't sew a thing. Thank you for this so much.
ReplyDeleteCynthia
So beautiful, and you totally trump Martha. Delighted to be included in this talented group.
ReplyDeleteDebbie - These are just wonderful. I've always wanted to make myself some basket liners, and even though I sew, I've just never tackled them. Your version looks so much easier and one that I sure do want to try. I love the graphic that you used too. Hope you have a great Labor Day weekend. I enjoyed partying with you!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! Such a wonderful idea...Christine

ReplyDeleteDebbie,
ReplyDeleteHm~m~m have you or Baby Kitty been down to my creative space, Studio One lately???
Are you sure you haven't seen that little vintage basket
with the vintage pillowcase draped inside???
I believe you!!!
BUT. . .I want to tell you that I'm so~o~o glad I hadn't CUT into that fabric
just yet to make a basket liner. I'm thinkin' I won't need my sewing machine
after watching this tutorial No Sew Basket Liner!!!
You always have the most clever ideas, dear friend!!!
Thanks for the inspiration...again, and again, and again!!!
Fondly,
Pat
