pattern/tutorial to make a stiff cloth bin/bag...

[dds07]

I saw one of these at a craft fair, but I'm not good enough to come up with my own pattern. It was a pretty stiff, fairly thick bin/bag for storing things-not thick because of thick material, but more as if it had really stiff batting in it?? It is to be used as a basket would be used.

Anyone have a pattern/tutorial??

Thanks!

It probably had heavy-duty interfacing in it? Woolfoodmama has a tutorial on her blog for something similar. It's hosted by Craft magazine, but there's a link for it there on her sidebar.

Here's a few I had found -

This one isn't real big, but I'm sure you could make it bigger, using the same concept.

There's one on this page called a kidlet wall pocket that hangs up.

Finally, there's a tutorial on this blog for a "slipcover" for plastic crates. I thought it was pretty clever, it ends up looking like a fabric basket but is much stronger and can be stacked.

Hope these give you a place to start!!!
