I love Noodlehead's blog,who doesn't to be honest?I love her tutorials and her patterns!The "Divided Basket"  is my second pattern I'm puchasing from her site.The first one was "the super tote" and I have already made 3 bags of it!I loved it even though I didn't like the tutorial which comes with drawings and not photos.But the divided basket pattern comes with a tutorial full of detailed color photos!!!The instuctions are very detailed and the basket is almost "easy" to make.It is not made for beginners but as it says "for advanced beginners".I would add for "very advanced beginners".

The two handles make the basket portable and easy to carry around.I made this specific basket for my sewing supplies so I lined it with a fabric from Riley Blakes Hipsters collection.For the exterior I used a wool mix fabric which I interfaced with medium weight non woven  interfacing.I also interfaced the exterior part with fusible fleece.Don't skip the fleece,I think it is necessary!I interfaced the lining pieces as well even though the pattern doesn't say so.I used medium weight nonwoven interfacing.I find it important since the quilting cotton fabric I used isn't that heavy!

I purchased the PDF version of the pattern.Had no problem printing it in my printer.I like to print my pdf patterns in self adhesive paper sheets and then stick them on cardboard.It makes cutting so much easier and faster!

One thing is for sure!I see myself making many of these baskets,I see my workspace full of these baskets!!! :)

kisses.
