I don’t sew a lot, but I really do like it. For Christmas, I sewed my preschooler a pair of flannel cow-print pajama pants to match a pair I made for myself a while back. Less-than-impressed is an understatement. But I am not deterred. Today I finished up this: <\/p>\n

Again, the owner of the colored building blocks was not impressed, but I was excited. You see, I had the idea to do this about 6 months ago. I have scribbles all over with measurements from where I was trying to figure it out. I actually go so far as to sew the brown part of what you see in the picture, which actually goes down and lines the inside of the milk crate. Then I got stuck. I wasn’t sure how to finish it off because I had been using those wicker basket liners as a guide\/inspiration. They sort of fold over the top of the basket and then maybe have a little casing with a ribbon that ties to secure the liner in place. But that wasn’t working for my ugly milk crate. <\/p>\n

Then today, my train of thought happened to revisit Basket Liner Station and I started googling. I was this close to buying a $2 pattern when I found a perfect little tutorial on making exactly what I needed. The big solution was to have the liner come all the way down the outside and cover that dingy ole milk crate up completely. <\/p>\n

My brown creation was about 9″ too short to accomplish this. But I had two long strips of cow print about 9″ wide just sitting there looking at me like, “duh.” So there you have it…<\/p>\n

Now I want to make more. I’m going to line milk crates and pamper boxes and shoe boxes and just about any square container I can lay my hands on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
