Make a Melba flower basket, a free pattern from The Textile Pantry

These little fabric baskets are made with the Melba Flower Basket pattern from The Textile Pantry. I’ve made several of these cute containers recently. They are fast and fun to make and an excellent distraction from the unseasonably cold, rainy and snowy weather we’ve been having for April.

Fill them with candy and pop in some Peeps.

Use them beside your sewing machine to hold small tools like a seam ripper and binding clips.
