This month we will be working with Fabric Tubes and making a Woven Basket. The basket has two sizes; 6” and 8” and two versions; two-row height and three-row height. The basket is very sturdy, thanks to what I call Stiffeners. The stiffener in the vertical and horizontal tubes allows the basket to stand without collapsing. Handles are optional.
The stiffener I use is Bosal Craft-Tex Lite sew-in. This stiff stabilizer is 100% polyester, about 1/16” thick, and can be bent folded without retaining a crease

Hi I'm PJ
Since 2006 I’ve been a teacher at Montavilla Sewing Centers in the Portland Metro area. I design, produce and teach the monthly projects for Babylock Serger Club, Janome, BabyLock and Brother Machine Embroidery Club, and 8” Block of the month Club.
I have a lot of fun creating projects, designs, and patterns that incorporate techniques and products to encourage the students to get the most out of their Sergers or Embroidery Machines.
