Great! A few thoughts though. One, this would be totally impractical for me, because it'd get dirty in a week and there is no way you can wash it except by unstitching the top and redoing the whole thing. Too much work. I'd compromise on the looks but instead of a piping on the top, I'd close the two walls of the panels with velcro. <br />Two, instead of plastic panels, I'd use old plastic table mats. They keep getting worn out and/or dirty and are very useful for this sort of stuff. Thin, but for smaller baskets, especially not for books, they'll be nice.<br />Three, I agree with lydia.purple above that a square plastic or cardboard (which may or may not be covered with fabric) will really help take the weight of the books better.Swatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17173996390154408845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-76489186165102316612014-08-18T08:03:57.679-05:002014-08-18T08:03:57.679-05:00Great tutorial!

Contact some campaign offices (ideally well before elections) or your city/county roadwork department and you can usually get good info on how to intercept a few before they go to landfills, which is where a lot of them end up.
