How to Line a Log Basket

Do you have a log basket? My father recently bought one but with a super new carpet he asked me to line it so pieces of bark and dirt did not slip through and dirty the carpet.
The first step to lining a basket with handles is to measure the width, height and length, internally.
Make sure you measure to just below the handle of the basket.
I have made one long piece which covers the short sides and base of the basket.
Place your side panels right side together so the long edges align and are centrally places on the base fabric.
Place your lining into the basket, folding under the raw edges. Hold in place with pins.
Hand stitch through the lining and the basket to hold in place. You will need a sharp needle and strong thread.
That’s it, you are done! Please don’t be put off by the maths.

Would be easier to hot glue it to the basket rather than sewing it.

Hot glue process not as durable.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Couldn’t you cut one piece the length and width of the base plus sides and cut a square out of the four corners so that the only sewing you have to do is the corner seams to make the lining. Less sewing and more likely to have side pieces in the correct spot?
How would 'lining the inside' of the basket keep residue from the basket off the floor.?
