Hanging Half-Buckets - £5+VAT

We all need more storage, but where to put it? These flat-backed half buckets are designed to hang on the wall, so don’t clutter up your desk.

Each Hanging Half-Bucket has two loops, so you can hang them from hooks on the wall. You also have the option of sewing buttons on the back, so that you can button them together and hang them as a column from just the one set of hooks. Another useful option is to hang them on a pegboard.

This pattern includes three sizes, and is marked to help you sew a neat curved base. All of the pattern pieces are included, apart from the rectangles, which you can cut yourself with your favourite quilt rulers.

These half-buckets make great thread catchers, and I have included buttons to hang one in my Sew Organised Pincushion PDF pattern. You can buy it here.

This is a downloadable PDF pattern sent to your email, not a physical product.

  • These half buckets use a combination of Decovil light plus batting, but you could swap those out for foam stabiliser. Adjust the lining seam allowance to get a better fit for the lining
