New Etsy Listings!

I've finished a few more projects and posted some new listings on Etsy. These include the two Choctaw pouches I mentioned in an earlier post as well as a custom order and some patterns. The Color Scrap Basket pattern (which I posted free of charge for blog readers!) is now available to purchase, along with the basket that is shown in the pattern. Tomorrow I'll be posting a miniature version of the Appalachian basket I've made in the past, together with the pattern for that basket as well!

I sold the larger of the Shaker cheese baskets and have requests for more, so that's getting added to the list of baskets to make soon. Stay tuned for the colorful tray and the two chevron twill baskets I've promised - they're coming soon.

Free Pattern - Color Scrap Basket

As a preview of the kinds of basket patterns I've been working on, I'm offering readers a FREE basket pattern here! It will retail for $4.00 at my Etsy shop, but to thank you for checking out my new blog, I'm giving it away here.

This basket pattern isn't just a pattern, it's also a photo tutorial that walks you through all the steps involved in making a basket, from cutting the reed to lashing the rim. Everything is explained so that even complete beginners can follow the detailed instructions.

Have you ever wondered what to do with the leftover pieces of reed you dyed for various projects? Try making this quick, simple, and cute little basket using leftover colored reed! Here's a preview of the pattern:
