Lets disassemble this sweater! Begin by cutting off the waistband if there is one.
Next cut off both sleeves at their seams.
Now place your basket on top of your sweater and cut an inch around the whole thing.
Turn the rectangles inside out and pin together.
Sew around all 4 sides of the cushion with a 1/2 in. inseam. Stop before you sew it completely shut.
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!
Next stuff your cushion full to desired fluffiness.
When its all stuffed go ahead and close it with some a simple ladder stitch, or any other hand sewing stitch.
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.
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!
