Our Facebook group is a great place to get help, share your tips and creations! We are a friendly bunch, and we love to help and see what you have made.
Please read the full instructions before getting started.
Wash, dry, and press your fabric before starting your project. A bit of prep now prevents shrinking and means your garment will stay the same size you made it.
Never leave a child or baby unattended or allow to sleep in a garment made from one of our patterns with ties, snaps, buttons, or anything they could remove, choke on, or get caught on. Always use caution if you are unsure. We love our patterns, but we love your bundles of joy more!

Printing Your PatternSettings
The pattern is a separate download. Choose either the US letter paper, A4 paper, or A0 paper size based on the printer you wish to use. If you are in the US or Canada then your printer will likely use US letter paper. Other regions normally use A4 paper. Some people prefer to print their patterns at a print shop: A0 is best in this case.
Print at 100%.
On the second page, you will find a 1-inch and a 3-inch square test box. Print this page first, on its own, and measure these squares.
Once you are happy that the test box is accurate, print the rest of the pattern pages.
Please follow this video for information and assistance on assembling this pattern.
Also, please note that some Rebecca Page patterns and projects also come with cut files and a printable design page which you can use to plan your project if you wish. These are provided in a separate section below to avoid any confusion!

Seam allowances are all included so just cut them as is.
Cutting Charts – All pattern pieces are included, however if you prefer to cut using a cutting chart, the dimensions for the rectangular pieces (in INCHES) are below:
4 inches High 6 inches High 8 inches High 10 inches High 12 inches High Width Height Width Height Width Height Width Height Width Height 4 14.0 5.0 14.0 7.0 14.0 9.0 14.0 11.0 14.0 13.0 6 20.0 5.0 20.0 7.0 20.0 9.0 20.0 11.0 20.0 13.0 8 25.1 5.0 25.1 7.0 25.1 9.0 25.1 11.0 25.1 13.0 10 32.4 5.0 32.4 7.0 32.4 9.0 32.4 11.0 32.4 13.0 Cutting Checklist:
NOTE – To cut fabric on the fold, fold your fabric over parallel to the selvage edges. Align the pattern piece so it is on the fold of the fabric. Cut around the edges, leaving the fold. If you have folded your fabric correctly the fold will be parallel to the two edges of the fabric that are finished. The raw edges (e.g. the ones you could pick at, and threads would come off) will be at a right angle to your fold.

- OPTIONAL DECORATIONS – Apply decorations to Main Sides as desired.

0 . PreparationSeam Allowance
½ inch seam allowance included - Top stitching ¼ inch
0.1Interfacing
Using the manufacturer’s instructions, apply the fusible fleece interfacing onto the wrong side of all pieces, ½ inch from edges, as seen on pattern pieces.
TIP – It is important to make sure you follow the seam allowances exactly for these Baskets. To help with this, it may be helpful to make sure you are ironing the interfacing exactly a ½ inch from the edges on each piece. On each of the Basket Sides, you may want to draw the ½ inch seam allowance on the long edge and a short edge. This will help when stitching the pieces together.
TIP – On the Main and Lining Bottom pieces, to help with the interfacing placement, fold the base in half and then fold in half again. The base should now be folded into quarters. Find the center and mark with a fabric marker or pin. Unfold, then repeat with the other base piece and interfacing pieces. Match the center points before ironing so the interfacing is centered.
0.2OPTIONAL Decorations
If you are adding any decorations to personalize your Baskets, add these to your Main Side pieces now. Remember that there is a ½ inch seam allowance so place your decorations with this in mind. If you are folding over the top edge, keep that in mind too.
1 . Bottom1.1Stay stitching is a line of stitches that we use around curves to prevent them from stretching while manipulating, sewing, or using an item. If you don’t do it, the Bottom is likely to stretch and then the Side won’t fit properly when you try to stitch it on. It will also help prevent puckering when attaching the Side.
Stay stitch the Bottom piece. Stitch just inside the ½ inch seam allowance. When the basket is sewn this line of stitching will be hidden within the seam. Use a smaller stitch length to create this line of stitching.
NOTE – It is important to make sure you follow the seam allowances exactly so the pieces will fit together without puckering.
TIP – To make it easier to follow the ½ inch seam allowance, use a piece of masking tape / washi tape to mark the ½ inch seam allowance on your sewing machine.
1.2Clip notches into the seam allowance of the Bottom pieces approximately every ⅜ inch. Clip as close to the stitching as possible without cutting into it. This will make it easier to sew the base to the sides.
Repeat steps 1.1 to 1.3 with the Bottom Lining.
2 . Side2.1Fold Main Side in half, right sides together. Pin.
2.2Stitch using a ½ inch seam allowance. You have now created a ring of fabric from the Main Side.
2.3Press the seam open.
2.4Repeat steps 2.1 to 2.3 with the Side Lining.
Leave a gap for turning the Basket right side out.
3 . Construction of Basket3.1Find and mark the quarter points of the Bottom Lining and bottom edges of the Side Lining.
To do this fold the Bottom in half and mark, then fold in half again and mark.
3.2Place the Bottom Lining and Side Lining right sides together, matching quarter points. Pin.
TIP – Use a lot of pins when easing the Side to the Bottom. This will ensure you will not be left with extra fabric on either piece and you are not forming puckers.
3.3Stitch using a ½ inch seam allowance.
TIP – Work slowly and carefully, being mindful of the seam allowance.
Repeat steps 3.1 to 3.2 with the Main Bottom and Main Side pieces.
4 . Assembling Basket4.1Turn the Main Basket right side out.
4.2Place the Main Basket into the Basket Lining, so the right sides of outer and lining are facing. Pin together along the top edge.
TIP – Align the side seams as you place the Basket Lining into the Main Basket.
4.3Stitch along the top edge using a ½ inch seam allowance.
4.4Turn the Basket right side out through the gap left in the lining in step 2.4. Press the seams flat.
4.5Push the Main into the Lining.
Use a slip stitch (also called a ‘ladder stitch’) to close the gap. Alternatively, you can stitch the gap closed using your sewing machine.
Fold the fabric under by ½ inch. You will be stitching along this folded edge.
Thread the needle, tying the thread tail ends together in a knot. This will provide added strength to your finished seam.
Push the needle up and through one of the folded seams, from the inside of the lining to the outside, pulling the thread tail completely through.
The knotted end will now be nicely concealed within the seam on the inside.
Directly across from your starting point, push the needle down and then back up through the opposite seam fold to create a stitch that is between ¼ – ½ inch long. When you pull the thread through, you will notice that the stitch you just made is concealed within the seam crease, and there will be a horizontal stitch connecting the left and right sides of your opening.
Repeat to the end of the opening. To tighten the stitches, gently pull the thread. This will conceal the stitches in between the seams.
To end, create a loop for your needle to pass through by picking up a tiny section of the opposite seam and passing the needle through the loop. Tighten to form a knot. Reinforce the stitching as needed by repeating this step.
Poke the needle back into the fabric next to your stitching and pull it all the way through to the other side.
TIP – By using this stitch the Basket is fully reversible so you can turn it inside out to mix it up as preferred.
4.6Topstitch all the way around the top edge, ¼ inch from the top.
TIP – Stitch slowly to prevent the Main and Lining fabrics from shifting. Using a walking foot here will also help. It will feed the top and bottom layers through the machine at the same time, which will prevent them from shifting.
4.7OPTIONAL – Stitch another row of topstitching ¼ inch from first row.
NOTE – This is also a great place to add a decorative stitch. Have fun with it.
4.8OPTIONAL – Fold the top edge of the Basket over 1 to 2 inches.
NOTE – If you are folding over the top edge this will change the finished height of the Basket.
