Neat beautiful storage in the home is made easier when you take up sewing, because you can use wonderful fabrics to dress up almost any sort of container. In this way, plain baskets, old crates or even ugly plastic bins can be quickly lined or fully covered to make them look cute… sometimes even elegant!
Not only will they brighten up any chosen area, there are also other evident benefits in learning to sew these basic items! Usually being removable and washable, fabric liners or covers are a great solution when you want to keep containers clean. Many sturdy plastic crates often have several holes, so a fabric cover greatly adds to their usefulness, especially when storing small items.
On the Internet, there are many available images of fabric basket liners, crate liners and covers. Below, we will be showing you some great pictures we found on Pinterest, for some inspiration. Any beginner will successfully manage such an easy sewing project, but here is a tutorial to help you solve possible doubts.
If you decide to make your own fabric covers and liners, be sure to send us a picture of the finished item: we love to see and share what you do!
