Little Red’s Basket Pattern

Hello friends, this is Jennifer Long from Sew A Story, a fabric designer with Riley Blake Designs and a doll and quilt pattern designer.

Create the cutest woven basket for your home! Choose your favorite precut 2.5″-wide strips, then weave them into a basket shape, and bind. You can use the basket for storage, for decor, or even for holidays!

This pattern uses templates and is beginner-friendly. This basket is so fun to make that you’ll want to make one for every occasion and season. Wouldn’t it be darling as an Easter basket or Halloween candy bucket? It would be so cute as a table centerpiece to hold napkins or silverware. It can even hold small toys for endless hours of play for a child!

Let’s start sewing! Just gather the supplies below, and then download the pattern. Don’t forget to share your Little Red’s Basket Pattern on social media using the hashtag #SASLittleRedBasket and tag @sewastory_jenniferlong

Materials

I used fabric from my To Grandmothers House Fabric Collection with Riley Blake Designs! The colors in this fabric collection (in stores February 2024) are gorgeous shades of red, pink, green, and brown and feature small mushrooms, apples, strawberries, and the characters from Little Red Riding Hood.

Learn my process for prepping my strips for a woven fabric basket! I also share my favorite products that give the basket a strong and sturdy finish— including Thermoweb’s Heavyweight fusible interfacing.

Hi Friends! I am so happy you are here. My name is Jennifer Long, and I am a Riley Blake Designs Fabric Designer, Quilt & Doll Pattern Writer, Machine Embroidery Digitizer, and online educator. I am also the founder of the Sew A Story Pattern Club and the Modern Rag Doll Membership. I am married and a mom to (4) pre-teens / teens and live on a little hobby farm in rural Prairie Canada. I grew up training to be a professional ballet dancer, and later studied Early Childhood Education. I taught ballet and ran my own dance studio all the while sewing and designing costumes for myself and many of my colleagues and students. I am passionate about all things FABRIC, imagination and design and am so blessed I can share this passion with others. This journey has inspired me to make a positive difference by designing dolls and quilt patterns and fabric for others to be EMPOWERED to sew themselves! I have designed dolls and quilts for individuals, organizations, companies, designers, authors of children’s books, and international companies for mass production. What I LOVE the most about creativity is finding INSPIRATION everywhere and, in turn, INSPIRING others to do the same! Thank you for joining me on this creative journey.
