Sewing instructions :  

Cut out all pieces, do not forget the seam allowances.

Iron the fusible interfacing on the left side of the outer fabric. 

Place the lining fabric on the outer fabric (right sides facing), pin and stitch the top edge.

Unfold and press the seam allowance toward the outer fabric. 

Join the short edges, so that each outer fabric and lining is lying on top of each other (right sides facing).

Pin and close the seam. Leave a gap from 5-6 cm in the lining part.

Quarter the outline of the bottom…

..and of the side panel. 

Pin together bottom and side panel (right sides facing), start at the quarter marks. 

Cut in the seam allowance from the side panel every cm (~0,5 cm deep).

So, it easily joins the curves from the bottom. 

Stitch the bottom. Do the same for the lining.

Trim the allowances. 

Turn right side outside and close the gap (by topstitching very close to the edge or by hand stitching using the invisible ladder stitch) 

Put the lining inside the basket, iron and fold the upper edge to the outside.

You´re done!
