We do not want to do without light fabrics in the summer. Here are 4 simple DIY ideas made of linen that you can easily imitate.
You need this for the bag:
- 35 cm striped linen fabric (double layered)
- 66 cm blue linen fabric (double laid)
- 4 x 120 cm artificial leather
- Blue yarn
- tape measure
- fabric scissors
- sewing machine
Cut fabric as follows:
Twice 44 x 35 cm striped fabric for front and back
Twice 22 x 35 cm blue fabric for the side panels
44 x 22 cm blue fabric for the floor
Twice 4 x 60 cm leatherette for the handles
And that's how easy it is:
1. Quilt the two side panels and the front and back sides together right to right.
2. Knock in the top edge twice and stitch.
3. Insert bottom part with pins and stitch.
4. Turn the bag, put on the handle each 5 cm from the outside edge and stitch.

What you need for the bread basket:
- 2 different pieces of fabric à 63 x 45 cm
- pins
- Sewing machine and matching yarn
- fabric scissors
And that's how easy it is:
1. Place pieces of fabric one on top of the other on the left. Fold in the middle, creating a rectangle of 31.5 cm width and 45 cm height.
2. The bottom and side edges with 1.5 cm seam allowance topstitching. Overcast the edges.
3. Place the bag on the lower edge of the seam, folding out the corners. Now stake out the corners (as with a milk carton) 4 cm wide and stitch.
4. Turn the bag so that the seams are inside, and roll the edge outward.
