Exactly what I needed. Downsizing to a small travel trailer means less storage. Instead of round I made an oval shape basket out of cotton canvas material for my toilet paper. Holds 4 rolls. I added iron on interfacing fabric in between material to make it sturdier. Very happy with my results. Your instructions were easy to follow. Thank you!!

I think this goes on the list of something I can teach my 11 year old granddaughter this summer. It can be done with any size circle and any height you wish:)

So helpful, I want to make a basket to put my dogs toys away (they’re always all over the floor) and I couldn’t find a tutorial without wadding until now 😊

Really Blueprint? Cute idea, but the sewing over pins thing is just asking for an accident.

[kerrycooper-dean]

I've been sewing for 40 years, and sew over pins all the time. I can count on one hand the number of times the machine needle has hit the pin and snapped. The thread has stopped the needle end from flying off. Yes, it's a risk, but I am not good enough at maths to be able to calculate the times it's happened over my hours of sewing. Having said that, it's easy enough to sew a short straight seam without pinning. Or pin three times- at the start of the seam, in the middle, and at the end. Use finer pins, as another commenter has said. And to those new at sewing, there are much better tutes out, that explain the types of fabric and interfacing/stabiliser required to complete the project.
TL/DR- you can sew over pins, and there's better tutes out there.

Wow! Sewing over pins is hard to watch!

It would be great if you could indicate what type of fabric to use. Obviously a stiffer fabric would be better than a Jersey because the basket would not stand up if a Jersey or a knit were to be used. A canvas or denim would be great for this project. Even a stiffer cotton would work. Thinner fabrics such as rayon or even a silky type would require interfacing to make it more substantial. The concept is good but the instructions could have been better.

Really nice quick and easy project but why are you sewing over pins?😯

[bettymontgomery]

Wouldn’t this work better to stand up using Bosal In -R-Form Plus? I use that a lot on my baskets ..

[patriot]

not only sewing over pins, but those nasty fat ones that will break your needle in a Minnesota minute.

[africamason]

What fabrics did you use & how much of it? Thanks

Does anyone know what type of fabric the silver lining they used?

I already checked their site but they didn't specify what fabric it is. I was hoping to get the same kind... 😕

[nasooong]

Amazing idea, bit that poor machine will break if you sew over pins like that, that’s just an accident waiting To happen 😦

Is the seam allowance actually 1"? It looks so much more like 1/2" in this video. I tried a smaller bin (7" plate trace) and the seam allowance seemed wrong for sure.

Ok the circumference of a 12” diameter plate IS 37.69” NOT 30” AS THE VIDEO PORTRAYS. Good GREIF!!! Is someone double checking the M A T H over there at Bluprint?? I have only been sewing for 2 yrs so I REALLY pay attention to the videos to assist me. This video is not accurate which wastes my time. My husband and I have determined that the plate used in the video is 9.250” in diameter to make a circumference of 29.05”. Am I alone out here in the wilderness?? AND. NO I do not sew over pins!!!
