FIrst ever linen basket - a practice one!



This has taken me, so far, about 15 hours.  That includes the border (which is post this picture, because I'm not very happy with it).    It's a practice one for a basket I'm going to make next week.  I thought I'd better make sure I can actually make one before making the poor woman buy it!

This structure is so strong I can turn it upside down and sit on it!  

I've had such an amazing day outside making baskets.  It's been just lovely.  Well, until I realised the border was going to cause me pain.  :)

  2. Wow Hen, It sounds like you have a great business going. Your products look great. I like the shape of the basket. It reminds me of a pottery. I look forward to seeing how the top will look like when it is done.
