Woo hoo! I finished the crafty bucket! It wasn't as simple as it looked on the tele. Actually, I guess it would have been if I had an industrial machine that could sew through all the thickness! I broke 2 needles making the bucket. The instructions they give on how to figure out the measurements actually work! So did the cardboard compass thingy to draw the circle! The fact that the circle actually fit correctly amazed me. I was going to use upholstery fabric like they said to, but Val and I went to Savers and she picked out this cool fabric for me. I ironed interfacing onto it, but I think I should have used a stiffer one. It still works okay though (I may have broke more needles too!) I love the fabric! Now . . . what to put in it . . . Here's a pic as promised!
Lol! It would make a pretty cool laundry basket if it were bigger!

Aah, very cool. I broke a 100 jeans needle trying to hem some jeans the other week. Very frustrating. Savers is just the best:)
