Instructions

Step 1: Cut your 2 pieces for the outer and lining. For our three bins, we cut our pieces 9”x9”, 8”x8” and 7”x7”. For the
larger piece, Cut out a 2”x2” square from each corner. For the medium piece, cut a 1.75”x1.75” square from each corner
and from the smaller piece, cut a 1.5”x1.5” square from each corner.

Steps. 2-3: Pin or clip your pieces and using a 1/2” seam allowance, sew along the sides and bottom of your outer main
piece and do the same for your lining, leaving the 2” gap for turning. Press your side seams open.

Step 4: Make a box corner for both the outer piece and the lining. Do this by pinching the opening of the corners and
lining up the seams. Using a ¼” seam allowance, close the opening.

Steps 5-6: Turn the main basket inside out and the lining right side out. Place the outer basket inside the lining, so that
right sides are together. Match up the side seams and pin or clip into place. Sew the inner and outer bins together by
going around the top.
