Crochet with fabric

Anyone entered the world of crocheting with fabric? I really like it after making my willow basket but feel that mine looks a bit shabby.


 
Then I went and found a brilliant tutorial for making t-shirt yarn. Check it out here. The way he 'thumbs' the fabric to curl in the edges is really what this fabric basket is crying out for.
 
Look out wardrobe, more t-shirt yarn is needed for more ideas in my head. Let me know if you make some successfully. Jo xx

  1. I love these little baskets. I happened onto your site by accident - and was pleasantly surprised to find you live in Shropshire. I spent the happiest years of my childhood there, West Felton, to be precise.

  5. I think most new endeavours take a bit of 'tweaking' Jo - well done you for consistently trying new things! I imagine working with such fabrics would be 'tricky' to say the least but you've done a lovely job! Joy x
