Fabric-lined “Basket” Crates

We have a utility room where we have to utilize every inch of storage.  For anyone who walks through it on their way to our deck it can be an eye sore.  I needed a solution that didn’t include buying large $15 wicker baskets (multiply that by 4, yikes!).  

So, last October I purchased four bright green crates for $3 each and spray painted them at a friend’s legit backyard spray painting station.  Yes, this was back in October.  This week it was time to add a finished, basket-“esk” feel to them by lining them with fabric.

My goal was to finish all four, but my sewing machine kept jamming.  By the time I broke a needle and took the machine apart a couple times, I felt accomplished upon finishing one.  When I finish the other three in the upcoming weeks I’ll be sure to post a few mid-week pictures of the four “baskets” as a unit.
