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!
