Little Basket using embroidery

 

I have a bunch of batik scraps that I put to good use.

I got some thin cotton fabric, and wool wadding and covered the entire surface (5.5 inch square) with the batik shapes and randomly stitched them down with blanket stitches, running stitches, lazy daisy, etc in whatever direction it took me.

I made 5 squares and then sewed them up in a bag, Japanese Rice Bag style.

To make it more interesting I added some buttons.

This little basket was a little gift for my daughter's birthday.
