SUPPLIES & TOOLS:
- Fabric
- Foam decor interfacing
- Sewing machine
- Basic Sewing supplies
- Iron
DIRECTIONS:
- For the large size, cut two 36"x 15" rectangles and two 12" circles out of fabric, one 36"x 15" rectangle and one 12" circle out of interfacing (1/2" seam allowance is included).
- For the smaller size, cut two 33"X 12" rectangles and two 9" circles out of fabric, and one 33"x 12" rectangle and one 9" circle out of interfacing.
- Apply interfacing to wrong sides of one rectangle and one circle.
- Pin handles to top edge of one long rectangle, 1" in from each side, spaced 3" apart. Make sure raw edges of both handle and large rectangle are facing the same direction.
- Sew long edges of interfaced and non-interfaced rectangles right-side together on side handles are placed. Press seam open and under stitch on interfaced side. Interfaced side will act as lining.
- Sew short seams of large rectangles together, leaving 3" hole for turning.
- Sew circles to interfaced and non-interfaced openings.
- Clip curves and turn piece right-side out.
- Slipstitch opening closed in lining, and push lining into project. Press top edge of bin well.
Craft Hack Tips and Tricks:
- To easily create a circle fold a square of fabric in half and then in half again. At the folded point create a quarter circle shape and cut.

Poor Instructions
What Handles?! I can follow directions, but there is no indication as to what is being used for the handles in the materials list or dimensions for them in the instructions. Maybe use cording or rope? These instructions are quite unclear other than the dimensions of what to cut your fabric to. Joann's Please fix!!!

Cute design, horrible instructions!
I've read this repeatedly, copy and pasted to make it flow better, and it just doesn't make sense how they've written it. Honestly, did the folks at Simplicity write these instructions? There's no handles even in the project photo! There's no clear list of required materials even. It's bad enough that all the projects shown in direct sales fliers don't actually have directions, let alone videos on the YouTube channel, but to now have these featured in emails with directions that make less sense than a kindergarten class hyped on pixie sticks, it's just disappointing. I don't need directions, I've been writing patterns for years myself, but I was hoping for clear dimensions, a material list, and direct links to the fabric. This was disappointing.
