Lined hopsack fabric basket sewing kit (for machine sewing) - beginner level.
 
An easy, versatile make with a relaxed farmhous style!
 
Approx. size when finished:
BAG: approx. 23cm wide (29cm flat, side seam to side seam) x 11cm deep x 13cm tall / HANDLE: 10cm tall
 
INCLUDES:
Instruction card, with photos
Hopsack outer fabric (creamy-beige with grey stripes) (pre-washed)
Cream calico lining (pre-washed)
Gutermann sewing thread
Heavy sewing machine needle
 
You will need a ruler/tape measure, pencil, scissors, pins, an iron and a sewing machine.
 
Note: at the above size, the bag stands up on its own without interfacing.
Hopsack is naturally imperfect, with 'discolouration' in places. It also has a pleasant oaty aroma.
 
Whilst it wouldn't be impossible to sew this by hand, the hopsack layers will be quite thick in places, so much easier to handle with a machine.
