Melissa Mortenson of the Polka Dot Chair Blog came up with the idea of making small Easter baskets out of fabric so she could take them with her when she traveled on Spring Break. These small fabric baskets would be great for “little hands” on Easter morning this Sunday. Since they are made of fabric they are also very “packable”. You can send them to friends or family far across the country!

From Melissa Mortenson at WeAllSew:

"This year for Easter we will be home,  but have been out of town many times in years past for Easter. Our school systems Spring Break is usually right around Easter, and I have found myself more than once celebrating Easter morning in a hotel room.  Not my favorite thing to do, but sometimes it’s just how it all works out.

In the past when we celebrated Easter away from home, I didn’t want to lug our big Easter baskets all the way across the country with us, so I usually skipped the basket all together or substituted something “vacation -y” like a sand pail or beach towel.

A few years ago I got the idea to make small Easter baskets out of fabric, so that I could take them with us on Spring Break. I made 3, one for each kid. Those ‘kids’ are all teenagers now, and this year I realized this year that I have never shared a tutorial for the baskets with my readers. So I’m sharing one with you today!

The baskets are about 7″ tall and 5 1/2″ across on the bottom."
