I covered these buckets using fabric, wadding and using my ordinary sewing machine. I am a little sad at present as my Embroidery machine is broken-sob, sob!!!

But this prooves you can do nice things with an ORDINARY MACHINE!!!

I draw a circle of the base on the red, roll the bucket around the length join the inside. then I do the outside. Wadding around the outside sew it to the inside. I did button holes to thread the handles through. Lastly I cover the bottom with another circle and sew by hand.
There is this done with a bucket, from the seaside on an embroidery site sewswell designs. They did easter buckets.

It's been a nearly two weeks, because there is only one guy that is visiting ladies, to fix brother machines in the UK. I could have sent it back to the factory by currier but I did not want to, so some of it is my fault.
