Fuse one piece of interfacing to the wrong side of each of the fabric pieces following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Place the two fabrics right sides together. Stitch the pieces together using a 1/4″ seam allowance but leaving an opening for turning. Clip the corners without cutting through the stitching.
Step 3: Turn Right Sides Out
Turn right sides out. Poke out the corners and press. make sure the opening raw edges are pressed in. Topstitch all the way around using a 1/8″ seam allowance closing the opening as you go.

Fold the fabric in half diagonally. Measure down from the folded edge 2 3/4″ and pin. Tack the two pieces together either by hand or with your machine. Repeat for the other side. Open up the fabric and fold in half diagonally in the other direction. Measure again 2 3/4″ and tack the two pieces together either by hand or with machine. Repeat for the other end. Turn right sides out.
Step 5: Fold Down the Corners
Make sure the basket is flat and the top edges match. Fold down the corners. Stitch the corners down by hand.

Add the buttons to each corner of the basket and you have finished your easy fabric basket.
