A few weeks back I was at the Animal Welfare League's op shop and saw this great basket. It was a bargain at $5.00. It is one that is made by the Royal Society for the blind so it is really sturdy. I then thought I would do some stitcheries and make a lining. Today I made the linings. Here are the stitcheries they are by Bronwyn Hayes. 
They all became pockets.
The ladies became the side flaps.
And this is the completed basket, with lots of inside pockets.

I can't stop looking at your basket!! I love the pattern. I have looked for Bronwyn Hayes patterns but did not find that particular one. Would you mind sharing the name of the place you found the pattern. I live in the States and I don't know if her patterns are sold here.
Thank you!

Wow, this is amazing. You did a lovely job and I really like all the stitching designs.
This basket you made is fabulous!
I *love* this basket!!! Oh, I can't wait to catch up on projects so I can copy you!! ;-)
The basket is perfectly wonderful! What a wonderful tote it will make for your stitchery and other handwork. I would never have thought to do stitchery on the lining like that!
I found your blog while tracing back where a PIF I joined came from. I love the stitchery you have done. I am trying to find the Bronwyn Hayes pattern you used for your basket. Would you let me know where you found it? Your work is beautiful!
What a gorgeous basket you have made!
I especially love your ladies on the flaps.
Gorgeous!!! Tutorial please!!
