nesting buckets {pdf pattern}

You may have noticed I've been pretty busy lately sewing smallish projects and designing new pdf patterns. That's where my passion seems to be leading me these days and you know what? As of this Monday I'm trying to make this sewing obsession of mine a full time job. Eeeek! So, so very excited (and of course a little nervous) about this whole thing :).


And so today I'm really happy to be able to show you my newest pdf pattern for Nesting Buckets.

I love this project. I truly do. I think these buckets are super useful as we all have tons of toys, craft supplies, ... that need to be organized and contained.


 What I like even more about them is how stylish they look. I love having storage buckets that are pretty enough to be displayed around the house instead of having to be shoved in the back of our closets. I used beautiful cotton/ linen blend by Ellen Luckett Baker called Charms for exterior of my buckets.


They come in three sizes (small – 5” tall, 6” diameter; medium – 9” tall, 9” diameter; large – 12” tall, 12” diameter) and they each could be made with or without handles. I'm already thinking of making a few more small ones to hold my thread :).


Here's another version of a large bucket using gorgeous canvas by Skinny laMinx for Cloud 9. Totally makes my kids' stuffed toys look less of a mess and more of a design element :).

You can purchase an instant download pdf pattern for these buckets by clicking on the link below, or by going to my etsy shop. I'm offering this pattern at introductory $5.00 for the next 48 hours.


Thank you for your support, I really appreciate it. Svetlana

Oh, and for those who asked yesterday about my Skopelos bag. Yes, the pattern is in the works and I hope to have it ready in about a week or two :).
