Sew a set of reusable face wipes and a little fabric basket to keep them in

FAITH is one of our most beginner-friendly patterns — small, quick and inexpensive, and it teaches you two genuinely useful techniques along the way: boxing corners, and turning a project through a gap so there isn't a raw edge in sight.

By sewing your own face wipes you cut out single-use cotton pads for good. The basket keeps them tidy on the bathroom shelf, and because everything is cut from fat quarters it's a lovely way to use fabric you already have.

What you'll learn

  • Boxing the corners of the basket so it stands square
  • Assembling the basket outer-inside-lining, then pulling it through the turning gap
  • Topstitching the rim and turning the top down for a neat cuff
  • Layering cotton with bamboo towelling and trimming away the excess
  • Closing a turning gap invisibly with a line of topstitching

Finished sizes

  • Fabric basket: 10cm x 10cm x 10cm
  • Reusable face wipes: 9cm x 9cm

What you'll need

For the basket: a fat quarter of medium weight fabric for the outer, a fat quarter of contrasting fabric for the lining, and fusible interfacing (optional — we'd recommend it if your fabric is on the thin side).

For the wipes: a fat quarter of main fabric and a fat quarter of bamboo towelling.

Skill level
