Quilted Storage Basket & Tote — PDF Sewing Pattern, Two Sizes
A quilted fabric basket that stands up on its own, with a front pocket and two padded handles. Two finished sizes in one download. Use it as a laundry basket, a toy or nursery basket, a shelf organiser, or a market tote.
Why it looks harder than it is There are no boxed corners. A structured fabric basket normally means cutting a square out of each bottom corner and sewing it closed, four times, matching every seam — the step where a basket goes lopsided. This pattern skips it entirely. The whole basket is cut as one cross-shaped piece, quilted flat while it is still easy to handle, then folded up and closed with four short vertical seams. Nothing to match, no corners to square, no gussets.
Two finished sizes Regular: 25 cm high × 32 cm wide × 26 cm deep (9.84" × 12.60" × 10.24") Larger: 32 cm high × 42 cm wide × 34 cm deep (12.60" × 16.54" × 13.39")
