All purring and paws, this basket is lined with feline personality! 

A black cat sitting on a fence peeks out from the bottom of the basket, and kitty tracks march around the outer perimeter. With a witch and kitty faces to make the look complete.  When the candy gets low, the little inside kitty is a beguiling surprise for the eyes!

Supplies needed:

• A basket of your choice

• 1/2 to 3/4 yard of fabric, depending on the size of your basket

• Embroidery Designs - Black Cat Combo Pack from Embroidery Library

Use the outside measurements to make the 2 flap pieces. The width should be your 4th measurement plus one inch for seam allowances.  The height should be twice the 3rd measurement plus an inch for seam allowances. I marked a fold line halfway between the top and bottom lines, to help center my embroidery.

Embroider your designs in the top half -- above the fold.

With an air erase marking pen, trace around the outside of the bottom of the basket onto your fabric. This will become the bottom inside piece. You shouldn't need to add anything for a seam allowance, because the difference between the circumference inside and the outside will provide enough additional fabric for a seam allowance.

Place your embroidery in the center of this marking.

Using the 1st and 2nd measurements, mark out the inner side piece. Add an inch to each measurement for seam allowances.

Now cut out all your pieces along your marked lines.

To make the flaps, fold along the marked fold line, with right sides together, and using a 1/2" seam allowance, stitch the short sides together. Trim the bulk from the corners.

Turn the flaps right side out and press them flat.

To create the inside lining, join the short ends of your inner side piece, with right sides together.

Then, join the bottom edge of the side piece to the outer edges of the bottom piece.

The two pieces should form a bowl shape.

Put your lining into the basket, and mark with pins where the flaps should end, so that they will go around the handle of the basket. 

Now, stitch a line of basting stitches along the unfinished edge of each flap, and loosely gather the flap to fit between your pin markings.

With right sides together, stitch the flap to the inside of the lining.

Hem the gap between the flaps.

Put the liner inside the basket, and flip the flaps over the sides.

Fill with Halloween treats, and you're ready for the doorbell to ring!
