Enough of all the containers!!! This is the last post about them I promise! I've been asked a few times for instructions on how to make them so I thought I'd post a tutorial. This is a very easy project. The hardest bit is to get the base and the sides to meet up neatly. If anyone has any tips on how to make that easier - please share!
That's all - enjoy!

You can never have too many of these - they look great! I would sew the side piece onto the base first and then sew the side piece together. That way it doesn't matter if you're a bit out with the seam allowance.
Ahh.. yes good idea - Thanks for that!
merci pour votre tutorial!!!
i will try
If you run an ease stitch around the outside edge of the sides, gather and then ungather it, it might help. Another thing to try is cutting the side piece on the crossgrain (diagonal) so it has a little stretch as you ease it around. I always use lots and lots of careful pinning on things like that. Awesome little project!
Thank you for the great tutorial; I've been wanting to make these for ages.
hi I have just popped over from Mixtapezine and so glad I did, love your work and love your blog!!!
i think i'll have to give this a go... wish me luck :)
Great tut...I really long to stick my teeth into this one. Very nice!
Thanks for this tutorial! Someone just commissioned some of these from me, as a way to show off my fabrics, and your tutorial was a great help. I did end up sewing the 2 buckets together inside out, leaving a bit unsewn at the base of the lining one, and pulling the whole thing right-side out through there. Still had to topstitch around the top, though.
Really lovely idea, thankyou for posting it! I've just made two small ones to keep my hair clips in
These are brilliant! I'm going to have to remember these for gift baskets next Christmas. Thanks!!! Found the link to your blog here: http://flickr.com/photos/29520256@N05/3209484956/?addedcomment=1#comment72157612881997530

Thanks for the great tutorial! I've been looking for one for a while. I just wanted to let you know that I've taken a picture from this page and created a link to a Must MAKE Monday list on my blog, The Handmade Experiment. Chock full of tutorials and inspiration, the list is a nod to the film Handmade Nation and an ode to spring. Check it out at http://emilyflippinmaruna.wordpress.com and let me know what you think!
Thanks again,
Emily
