This basket is a real all-rounder - it not only has several compartments on the outside, but also a practical separation including a pocket on the inside and a handle for hanging. The storage basket is useful in many rooms, whether it is a workroom, children's room, or bathroom.
The finished dimensions are 13cm x 14cm x 15cm. The edge can be folded over if necessary.

Mark the center at the top as well as the position of the inside pocket and at the bottom of the pattern pieces with a snap.

Place the outer fabric cut pieces wrong sides together on the glue dots of the interfacing. Use a cotton cloth to protect the ironing surface.
Fix the interfacing to the outer fabric using heat and light force.
