Welcome!
Here is my newest project.
I bought these fabrics at
I knew I wanted to make something in these fabrics as soon as I saw the announcement for this
The pattern is by
and it is easy to follow with good illustrations.
I have cut the sides for all three size buckets from
1 and 1/4 yards of This Large Print Fabric.
I believe I also have enough 2.5" strips for the bindings, too.
I did not buy the bucket pattern last year, as I feel all thumbs making
bags and buckets and it was sold out at my local shop.
Note to self: "buy it when you see it."
I decided that these would be a perfect gift for someone I love,
so I decided to give these fabric buckets a try for this blog hop.
the webbing for the handles,
or the Bosal In R Form foam stabilizer ...
I recently ordered these online for this project from:
The pattern was included in the kit and the fabrics were all neatly marked.
I purchased the webbing and the stabilizer separately.
I definitely recommend this stablizer for this project
as it has much better form than the soft iron-on stabilizer I had on hand.
I could have tried making fabric handles, but I wanted my gift to have
as sturdy and professional look as I could manage.
These are the fabric pieces for Medium Size Bucket.
The brown rock print is the bottom fabric for all three buckets.
The lining fabrics are from the other prints in the fabric line.
Sewing the webbing for the handles was a task for my heavy dual feed foot
on my Jannome 6600p.
I would not attempt this bucket project without a good walking foot.
I am pleased with how these worked up.
Following the directions is not too difficult
but this process is time consuming for me
as I can only sew in small increments
and then I have to rest my eyes again.
So far I have only completed the medium bucket
but I have the side panels for the small and large buckets
cut and fused and ready to quilt.
I hope to make the next two buckets this week.
Yesterday, I received the Johnson & Johnson One-Dose Covid vaccine
and my arm is a little sore ... not bad, just a little achy.
Today may be a day of rest.
I am very pleased with how this sewed up.
I may alter the lining directions for the next two buckets
as my lining is a little loose inside.
Mr Scrapatch really likes this project,
so I may be making more of them for our own use.
I am really enjoying this blog hop!

Your bucket is gorgeous and a perfect use for the fabric!
Love your gorgeous bucket!
Nice bucket! The fabric is perfect. I think you will really enjoy having all 3 when you finish them.
What a pretty and practical finish. I love those handles but probably would have choked my machine trying to sew them. Thanks for the extra photo touch of including that gorgeous shell. Well done and I'm so glad you shared with us today.
What a great combination of fabric and project for this hop! Thanks for sharing.

Great bucket! I tend to steer clear of panels but your bucket makes me think I might have to try one.
Oh Pat that is absolutely perfect fabric for this hop. You did a great job on your bucket and now I'm looking at it and thinking I want to make one too! LOL!! The power of blog hops!

This is a fantastic bucket! I love the fabric. I understand your misgivings with bags and buckets. But you have a awesome bucket to show for it.
wow that basket is awesome in that fabric and those handles!!
What a great gift idea! The fabrics couldn’t be more salt and sand if you tried. The bucket does look to be quite sturdy and of course useful. Great job with the handles. I really love the seagull fabric. A whole set of these in the 3 sizes will look awesome.
Perfect project for this fabric. You did a great job. Those handles are a wonderful, professional choice.
Absolutely gorgeous fabric. The bags you made were just perfect. Thanks for telling us how to make the handles round.
How satisfying it must be to have made that and had it turn out so well! Of course, kitty approval is key! Well done!
Very cute buckets. Those fabrics are so perfect for salt and sand.
I'm not fond of making bags or buckets either. The fabrics fit this pattern perfectly.
The perfect fabrics. It reminds me of LaJolla, CA.

Pat your bucket is beautiful and the fabrics are just perfect for the theme. Thank you for sharing. Hope you feel better after your jab!
What a lovely clever project. Those fabrics were perfect too!
Love the bucket. I have been thinking about a couple of those types of projects and I decided to go with the "right" supplies and not improvise. Those just turned out so neat.
I love your fabrics and love BitsNPieces! Do you live nearby? I got my longarm from them and get there once in awhile. Love your buckets and project for the Sea and Sand Hop! I keep meaning to make some buckets/boxes for a few fabric management things. This one makes me think about fabric choices!
Perfect fabric and project for this blog hop! xx
Love your project and such pretty fabric. I need to make some. Hope you vaccination didn't cause you too many problems.
