"Rusty and Stamped Fabric Baskets."

Hello,

Remember I was rusting some fabric recently.


 This is what it turned out like. Love that the process was so simple. The hardest part was resisting the urge to un-tie the fabric to see how it was going.



I decided to make two baskets with some of the fabric.


 I found a tutorial online for a quick simple basket and decided to try stamping the fabric with the stamps that Bobbie-Lynn sent me.

 I have made a couple of these baskets and use them all the time. This one is currently holding some fruit on the kitchen bench.

I will  be doing some more rusting of fabric,maybe even some linen for cross stitch.

Happy days.

    That is so effective! Great work and I would have had trouble not checking the progress too.

    I love your baskets, Bev. I would never think of rusting fabric. It gives such a different effect.

    Hi Bev,
    Love the look of your rusted fabric. A great way to use those stamps too. I thought the fabric came that way until I read a little further down. : )
    Happy sewing and have a wonderful day.
    Blessings,
    Bobbie Lynn
