When I began my return to sewing and creating, I scoured the web for picture-filled, designed-for-beginners tutorials to lead me step-by-step through the process. I landed on Pink Penguin and her patchwork mini fabric basket tutorial.
The pink and orange basket below was my first completed sewing project (since junior high home ec!).
I have since made six of these (3 of which made perfect teacher gifts filled with chocolate, a starbucks gift card, and a sweet note -- but I forgot to take a picture before I gifted them - argh!).

Thank you for sharing your beautiful fabric baskets and for your kind words! Using corduroy for the basket is such a great idea!!!
