Picnic Basket Liner – Summer Sewing Project

Take this colorful basket liner along when going for picnics or entertaining outdoors. Or use as a table cloth for small tables.

Materials Needed:

2 pieces of white cotton/calico fabric – 21×21 inches Scraps of solid colored fabric cut into 3″ squares summer motif appliqués or machine embroidery equipment

Directions:

1. Join the square pieces alternating the colors, to the length of the white cloth.

2. Then join on the other side to form an ‘L’.

3. Stitch on to the white fabric all around – turning in the edges on the inner side.

4. Fold the table cloth and sew a hem on all four sides.
