Fabrics Baskets for Spring

I got round to sewing that check green cotton I was not so keen on, and it turned out nice!

Green check fabric basket with outside pockets and handles front
 I divided the front to one big and two small pockets

 and the back to 4 pockets

 Fits lots of toiletries inside

and little things all round

I also found a remnant from a long time ago and made a smaller basket

 It has handy pockets for phone, i -pod, cards and space in the middle for chargers and things.

Would work well as a "come home and empty your pockets bin", all in one place, tidy and scratch free.

Last but not least, I bought a length of what I thought was dark red felt, but looks a bit like wine.

I attempted a fox pillow with it.

 I made the mistake of using cotton for the white parts, which has no stretch

 The eyes and nose are also made of felt, stitched with applique

 I am quite proud of piecing the curves (first time ever I pieced curves) and getting the ears even (many times sewn uneven ears).

Would like to make more of these in future

What did you sew this weekend?
