Fabric Bucket: Tutorial version (+DIY KID)

When I was searching for fabric bucket tutorials, I came across this lovely one on Craftster.
I made one in a flash, here it is in hot pink and polkadots. I used the cut-out corners as handles. I added a pocket inside before sewing the lining piece.

The author was right, they're addictive to make! So I made 7 more that I will sell at the yarn shop for knitting project bags.

I like the handles this way, just pin them inside the top turned and pressed edge, then sew them! 

I used the cut out corners and sewed them end to end, then turned, pressing and sewing into handles. 

 The goal here was to learn basics of bucket construction and also find a pattern with a simple design that I could adapt to make my own custom buckets. So the last one that I made is a huge organizer that I made for my yarn drawer. I made 4 inside lining buckets for the inner sections, then doubled the measurements to get the outside liner. I threw in pieces of cereal box for the bottom and two sides to help it stand up(next time I would only use a bottom piece cause after it was sewn, it held it's shape without help). There is no photo because it looks terrible!

A DIY KID can help with picking material, pinning, and putting pins away.  They could try creating their own bucket with the same pattern using paper and glue by decorating the sides and handles with crayons, sparkles, paint, and stickers.
