Upcycled Tablecloths Into Baskets

"An oilcloth tablecloth was cut up and used to make practical baskets. The pineapple motifs have a cheery and bright look of the summer and the yellow fabric used for the lining matches perfectly to the motifs. To make one, all you need is one piece of the tablecloth and one piece of fabric in the same size. The rest is just sewing the two pieces together in a particular way. An illustrated tutorial shows how you can make one for yourself. One tablecloth goes a long way so you can make several baskets with it."
