    These vids must be so comforting to the people who love her. RIP SWEET ONE. ❤️. It gave me a feeling in my stomach that she is no longer with us. God bless all the family especially her children. God love them. Thank you for leaving her videos up.

    2:43 I miss your face and voice and new videos. Anytime I need anything I come to your videos. 9 times out of 10 I find what I am looking for. R.I.P Melanie. 😢 Now to start my basket. I plan to add handles as this will be for collecting my chickens eggs but again, thank you and I thank you family for leaving us your videos to continue to watch. ❤❤❤

    Thanks for keeping Melanie's videos on UA-cam. I'm trying to figure out a liner for my M-I-L's rollator basket and I think this will work once I get the measurements worked out!

    I'm a beginner to sewing and trying tp specialize in patchwork and quilting and while searching youtube for tutorials, I found Melanie's channel ... first I watched a few videos and a few weeks later, I came back to see if there were any new ones being uploaded and that's when I realized that she has passed and it made me strangly sad, I even shed a few tears. I was somehow devasted that this beautiful human being is no longer with us. May she forever R.I.P. my deepest condolences to her family 😢

    • @pcdosgirl
      @pcdosgirl 9 місяців тому +2

      I come back and visit her videos from time to time. Her husband has kept her entire library available to us, and she wasn't only just this very lovely person, very loved and loving towards her family and community, she was also an exceptionally good instructor.

    Cute basket, and I love how you used fat quarters for it. I have a partial bundle to use up. For me, I would use fusible foam for the outer layer, as I prefer a little more structure. You are a very good instructor! I’m going to share this with some newbies.

    @-DumbLittle_Doggies- 3 роки тому

    I love these! They're super cute and also so easy to make! (Well you make them look easy) This really is a great simple fabric basket. Fat Quarter Projects are also awesome because there something most anyone who sews, even a little, will have on hand. And if you don't have them on hand they're inexpensive and there is always such a fun variety to choose from. Thank you for this tutorial it's easy, fun, functional, and totally cute!

I also dabble in crochet but I hurt my wrist a few years ago and I can't use it for long.... Hope you're doing ok!

    Tip: Pressing the seams open on the basket will help the lining lay better as well. Just snip the the folded end of the seam a little without cutting the stitches and you should be able to press it open.
