Making a Hamper Liner
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.
