Shaping the Sides |
When the bottom is as big as needed,
start the sides. Here is the flat
side of the coil seen from what will
be the basket's bottom. The other
side will look different. If the
basket is going to be shaped like a
plate, and the bottom will be
visible from the top, this side will
go toward the inside.
|
|
To start up the sides, take the ends
of the needles and instead of
placing them around the outside of
the coil, place them parallel to the
underlying coil. Angle the sewing
needle as illustrated to sew the
coil to the side of the underlying
coil. |
The shape of the basket is determined by the
angle at which the needle is put through the
coil. The new coil will be pulled down on
top the underlying one.
