Step 2
Sew the two fabric pieces right sides together, leaving a turning gap of about 3” in one side. Snip across the corners, turn the right side out and press.

Step 3
Top stitch close to the edge, this will close the opening. Then sew another two lines ½” and 1” from the first. [You could carry on quilting like this all across the fabric if you wish].

Step 4
Measure and mark the centre of each side of the lining with your erasable marker pen. Measure and mark 3” either side, then 3” down, to form a triangle. Repeat on all four sides.

Step 5
Fold each triangle in half and sew.

Step 6
Repeat with all four triangles. You’ll see a box shape forming.

Step 7
Fold the points of the triangles to one side and hand sew. Turn the right side out, fold over the points and hand-sew a bow to each flap to secure.

Step 8
And your bread basket is finished!
