Any sewers made one of these? If not, I wanted to share because it's pretty neat:

(not my blog, but she has good, detailed instructions)
We made them in my sewing circle last month and it's stuck with me - super easy and the end result looks very professional. I made little handles on mine. I've also seen people wrap the clothesline in scraps of fabric before coiling (waaaay too tedious for me, but the result looks cool) or dip parts of the basket in dye. Though the plain basket looks pretty great on its own. I plan on making several and giving them as Christmas gifts this year.
Of course, when I proudly showed my boyfriend what I'd done, he immediately started poking at the holes (I wasn't paying attention as much as I should've the entire time, so my stitches occassionally ran off course). C'mon, man! It's my learning project; it won't be perfect!
