This is another project for a customer of Fiskars, these ad hoc projects just add to my goal of weekly projects for the blog and keep the momentum. These are instructions for a small bucket, but just alter the measurements accordingly to make a larger bucket.
1. Choose two coordinating fabrics, choose from heavy weight fabrics like canvas, furnishing fabrics etc. You want them to be pretty sturdy, although you can add stiffening or interfacing to the fabrics if you like.
2. Cut two, four inch circles using the Fiskars fabric circle cutter, one from each fabric.
3. Cut two strips of fabric 14 inches x 5 1/2 inches, one from each fabric, then sew each strip into a tube by stitching the short sides together.
4. Pin the matching circle base to the tube, then sew in place for both fabric buckets. One is the outer and the other is the lining.
5. No need to decide which pattern you prefer for the outside of the bucket as it will be reversible.
6. Turn both buckets inside out, then insert one into the other, right sides together matching the side seams. Pin around the top edges to hold in place for sewing.
7. Stitch around the top edge leaving a gap big enough to turn through to the right side.
8. Turn through.
9. Push one bucket inside the other then pin around the top edge closing the turn through gap. Top stitch around the top edge.
10. Turn a cuff over the top of the bucket to expose the lining, then fill with your favourite things.
Done!
