I love these fabric baskets, they always squash so nicely into a drawer. They fold flat when empty and are made to fit exactly what goes into them. Here’s the way I make them.
The size of the rectangle and how big you cut the corner squares dictates the finished size. The larger the corner square, the higher the sides.
Start with the size you need for the base, add the height of the sides and seam allowances, this makes the starting rectangle.
Pop a zip across the top if you want a fold down basket that will carry lots of stuff. Add card for an even stiffer base. Make one slightly larger than the other to make a lid. Lots of ways to play about with this basic design. Enjoy.
