Remember I bought this cute metal bucket for a hamper in the baby’s room? I made a liner for it…

Project time, start to finish: 20 minutes.

Step 1

Measure the bucket from the bottom to a few inches over the rim. Also measure the circumference of the bottom. Sewed all pieces together {two sides first, then bottom. This is shirting material which has stretch: great for sewing the circle part evenly, and wrapping the fabric over the bucket}.

Step 2

Measure how far you want the liner to overlap.

Step 3

Add trim. {I always sew the trim as I go, then cut the piece to the right length when I’m almost to the end… this eliminates cutting it too short or too long. I also pin as I go. Eek! Classic case of the non-trained seamstress}

Step 4

Connect trim.

Step 5

Iron and stretch onto bucket.

Adapt for your project

Using the same technique, create liners for your organizing baskets, laundry baskets, storage bins, boxes, etc…
