STEP 1: SEW YOUR FABRIC SQUARES TOGETHER

• Place your fabrics right sides together.
• CLIP or PIN together.
• SEW around the outside using a ¼” seam allowance and leave 3-4” open for turning. (figure 1)
• TRIM corners to reduce bulk.
• TURN right side out and iron flat, folding in the raw edges.
• TOPSTITCH around the entire square ⅛” from the edge.

For a more professional look, match your bobbin thread to the main color of the bottom fabric and your main thread to the top fabric.

STEP 2: SEW FOLD STITCH LINES

SEW the length of the square on all 4 sides (figure 2) Sew the same distance from each edge as the height of sides of the basket noted in the second column of the cutting chart.

For example, if you cut 15” squares of fabric, the sides of your basket will be 2½” high so sew 2½” from the side of the basket square, on all 4 sides. (see figure 4 – dashed lines are stitch lines)

STEP 3: ADD THE SNAPS

• Using the stitch lines, mark where your snaps will go.
• PLACE a snap piece on the fabric that will be on the inside of your basket, so it is just inside the edge. (KAM Snaps are shown here) 
• Use a hem gauge or ruler and determine how far from the edge you need to poke the hole to install the snap OR where you will sew the snap on, depending on the kind of snaps you choose. (figure 3)
• MARK the same distance to the side of the stitching in all 8 corners. (figure 4)

• INSTALL the snaps per manufacturer’s instructions. (figure 5)
• Once you’ve installed all 4 snap sets you simply snap each corner and your basket is ready! (figure 6)
