  Step 1

  Lets disassemble this sweater! Begin by cutting off the waistband if there is one.

• 

  Step 2

  Next cut off both sleeves at their seams.

• 

  Step 3

  Now place your basket on top of your sweater and cut an inch around the whole thing.

• 

  Step 4

  Turn the rectangles inside out and pin together.

• 

  Step 5

  Sew around all 4 sides of the cushion with a 1/2 in. inseam. Stop before you sew it completely shut.

• 

  Step 6

  Make sure you leave a two inch hole in the seam to turn the cushion inside out with. Go ahead and turn it inside out!

• 

  Step 7

  Next stuff your cushion full to desired fluffiness.

• 

  Step 8

  When its all stuffed go ahead and close it with some a simple ladder stitch, or any other hand sewing stitch.

• 

  Step 9

  Anyway, you'll want to give your whole basket (well except the bottom, who's gonna see?) a basic coat first and then let it dry. I used 6-7 thin coats.

• 

  Step 10

  I used a spare bottle of fabric paint to make the rope contrast again. I painted everything that had previously been pink, black.

  When this is all dry, give it a good spray of clear sealer.

  When that is all dry, add your cushion and you're done!
