crafty crafts
Jan. 20th, 2012 01:06 pmWe've been having issues with the Girl turning over her huge plastic toybox and standing on it, then (of course) falling off, so I decided to make some canvas ones. They are smaller and un-stand-on-able.
The one in front here is done, the two in back need to be topstitched and pressed.
(My good friend/co-dancer/babysitter/surrogate auntie to my kid painted the creepy-eyes girl for me for xmas.)
And the first one in action!
They are all done, finally. I spent way too long on these. Maybe a week, or maybe two? They really only took a couple hours but it was spread out 15 minutes at a time.
I used a tutorial from The Sometimes Crafter but I made mine a little bigger; I started with squares about 19" so my baskets are about 5" high and 8.5" wide. I stiffened the canvas with heavy sew-in interfacing and put a square of Peltex just on the bottom.
My linings are a bit baggy, but otherwise I think they are so cute! Entirely serviceable as toy boxes.
I know I promised myself I'd be quilting by now, but I really wanted to finish these, and I would like to get some skirts done as well. But I have backing, batting, thread, and a design, so when I make the time, I am ready!
