Hi there all! I finally fixed it and completed my first FSL basket :)

Putting it together was a little tricky ...maybe because my lace didnt wash out or I should say dry 100% perfect!
Well all is well that ends well so I am glad in the end my project completed!

Absolutely brilliant for your first FSL basket and I love the addition of the little rhinestones! I'm very partial to black, white or silver. I love the effect of the silver thread with the black it really makes it stand out. Well done for persevering on this!!! Love Chris

Thanks a lot!
I too wanted to make it black but I didnt have a big spool of the rayon embroidery thread which I wanted to specifically try out this time for my FSL so used this very dark blue....
almost black ;)

Your basket turned out beautifully. We wouldn't have known you Werner an expert without your previous thread about the curling. I like the added bling, making it extra sparkly beautiful. --Sandra

I like that you held the basket in one of the pictures, it gives a sense of the actual size!!
by tfk 16 Mar 2015
I found a free download of your basket with the bow tie on the side and a square base....which also has a handle in FSL!
Sorry dont remember from where....but I went through 1 of the old links here on cute...thanks!

It's quite a pretty basket! Very unique. I love the bow you added!

I don't quite understand what you meant about the stabilizer not washing out 100%. The stabilizer is suppose to stay in the basket. When it gets wet it soaks the threads, then dries and it makes the basket stiff. If you should ever wash it, you'll have to use one of the fabric stiffeners that are on the market.

Thank you for appreciating!
No dear I didnt mean that the stabiliser didnt wash out 100% ....I didnt want it to either! Actually my pieces started curling up on rinsing which never happened with my previous FSLs! Ironing between 2 layers of fine cotton flattened them and fixed the problem but I wasn't 100% happy with the dried pieces :)
But it was fine for my first basket!
