Ditties are perfect for all your little Doo Dads & Ditties!

If you're familiar with my Ditties, these cute little baskets are a big hit!

I now have new sizes and styles as well as 2 videos:

Sew Ditty Baskets for your Doo-Dads

Sew Ditty Baskets with Pet Screen Material!

As with all of my Templates, the No Slip Backing makes cutting a delight! Everything is accurate & easy.

Template Cut Marks make it easy to cut out with your rotary cutter going right into the inside corners - allowing for clean cuts!

Choose From:

• Ditty Baskets – square shaped
• Ditty Trays – shallow square shaped
• Ditty Baskets Rectangles - rectangle
• Ditty Baskets Short – shorted square shaped

The 3 Original Ditty Baskets were ¾” different in size. This is fine if you’re working with cotton.  But if you want to use Pet Screen Mesh and the Tape Measures like Darla & Karen then you’ll want sizes that are 1” different in size. If you choose ¾” difference, they won’t sit inside each other as you can see in the pics.  I don’t have pics of the new 1” difference for the Pet Screen Mesh style.

My video shows how easy it is to make a fabric Ditty Basket.  I also show the new sizes plus the 2 new styles.

Darla and Karen’s video shows making the Ditty using Pet Screen, fabric plus 4 pieces of cut and taped measuring tape.  Here’s some of what you’ll see:

·         Pet screen cut with the Ditty Template to make the base.

·         Fabric sewn to each of the 4 edges to create a 'casing'.

·         From a measuring tape, 4 pieces cut and taped to go into the fabric 'casings'.

·         A strip of fabric sewn 'binding style' finishes off pet screen raw edges inside of the basket.

What you’ll see in the pics:

·         My 3 Ditty Baskets using the same geometric fabric for bobbins, threads, etc.

·         Three gorgeous Ditty Baskets filled with beautiful lace bookmarks made by Pam Neal. Beautiful!

·         Cute Ditty Baskets from Joni Londo in fun fabrics!

What can you do with a Ditty?

·         Hold bobbins, buttons, threads, etc.

·         Hold Office Supplies - paper clips, sticky notes, coins, etc.

·         Perfect for little one’s little things!

·         Place cash or a gift card at the bottom of the Ditty then fill with candy or treats. It’s the perfect gift!

·         Nest the baskets to make a nice gift. 

I used Pellon Fusible Fleece on the outside quilting cotton layer and SF101 on the light canvas lining fabric with about 1/4" seam allowance.

 How to Make:

Be sure to check out the 2 videos on Ditties.

Fold outer fabric diagonally in half & sew both sides. 

Then fold in the opposite & sew those sides. 

Repeat for the lining.

Tuck outer fabric into the lining fabric with rights facing & stitch around top leaving ‘almost’ one side unsewn. 

Turn right sides out.

Play with it to make it look nice & press well. 

Topstitch around, closing opening area as you go.  Couldn’t be easier or faster!
