This is an experiment. I recently noticed that Blogger has made some changes that enable me to do more editing of my blog posts from my iPad. Then I tried to see if I could upload photos directly from my iPad, and it worked. So next is to see if I can write a whole post from the iPad. I already know I can’t do it the same way I do from my PC, so this is a brief post just to see what works (and doesn’t). Wish me luck!
Back in March after the initial covid scare and lockdowns began, I felt the need for a quick, fun little project to focus on, just to take my mind away from it all for a while. (Anybody relate to that?) I had the perfect pattern that I’d downloaded some time ago but hadn’t tried yet, and it was just what I needed. It’s a free pattern that is accessible by joining the MOMENTS by Liz Facebook group. Liz writes some great patterns. This one is called the Snap It Up Basket, and you can see why here:
It has a snap in each corner. When it isn’t snapped up, it folds flat like this:
Pretty cool, huh? So it doesn’t take much room for storage when it’s not in use. Liz also was generous in making files available in her group for various sizes of the basket. Mine is the largest size. Here are some fluffy pics for size reference:
The baskets could be used for any number of things. I hope to make more of the sizes someday, because they’re so easy and fun to make. I might even see if Miss Courtney wants to make some.
If you’ve been following my blog for a loooong time, you may recognize that outer fabric as one of Jess’s early canvas designs. The inner fabric is a cotton that I’ve had in my stash for 30 years or so - ha! Yep, it’s a good stash-buster project, too. I love sewing little things that come together quickly and use up small fabric pieces. The snaps are KAMsnaps, but any kind can be used, and if you don’t have snaps, you could use velcro or even just stitch the corners closed (which would mean you couldn’t flatten it, of course).
Well, folks... I think I’ve managed to write a successful blog post entirely from the iPad. We’ll know for sure once I hit the Publish button. (Let me know if you see any problems with it.) Maybe this will even get me writing posts more often? We’ll see... but as I always say, don’t hold your breath. 😉

Your ipad generated post worked! I like your basket. Looks like you had a fluffy photo bomber. Stay well! Audrey
Thanks, Audrey! Glad you were able to see it okay... thanks for letting me know. Yes, I have plenty of photo bombers, inside and out. They LOVE to “help”. 🙄😂 Stay well yourself! ❤️
Success! You never need to use your computer again. :)
Not quite, Jess. I still need it for printing. Maybe someday, tho..... 🤓
Thank you so much for the sweet comments and for mentioning my pattern!
I am happy you enjoyed the Snap it up :-)

Thanks, Liz! And thank you for the fun pattern. I still have intentions to make one in every size. 💕
