Always double check your measurements, remember measure twice, cut once. 

 Sew the edges together with a 1/2″ seam allowance.   

 You will repeat this same process four times, alternating short, long, short, long, the last step will be bringing the entire long strip of  fabric together.   

After the strips are sewn together you can now add the bottom of the basket.  Match up the four corners with the seams on the short, long, short, long ends.  

The liner is almost finished, just put a hem across the top that will be visible when you fold it over the metal part of the basket.  The sewed a 1″ hem doubled so you cannot see the raw edge. 

 You are almost DONE, the last part is the ribbon or fabric strips (I used).  I took eight 11″ x 2″ pieces and sewed two onto each corner.  This will allow you to tie the basket liner to the basket.  I left the edges raw no hemming.  

From each corner I measured six inches down from the top and two inches out from the corner inseam.  I turned the fabric under and ran a simple 1/2″ seam on each side, one on each corner and you are FINISHED!

CONGRATULATIONS, your adorable basket liner is ready to be placed and you spent under $5.00 including the basket!!   

Put the basket liner in the basket and fold over the top wires, bring the ribbon around the outside of each wire and tie in a bow.  

One last step because the basket isn’t a solid wire I placed a cardboard piece in the bottom of the basket liner.
