MyGirlFriday asked me about a fabric tray she saw on my blog. Since we were in the quilting section (Sorry, link unavailable.) I thought it better to tranfer the discussion here.  http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v237/e-zabelle/05-09-09corbeille-helene-interieur-.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v237/e-zabelle/05-09-09corbeille-helenehalf.jpg The tray can be used to take off jewelry/ hair things/whatever when you come home from work... I didn't use a pattern. It is 3 layers of fabric-batting-towelling, sewn w/ right sides together with a small opening to turn inside out. I sandwiched ribbons between the layers at the corners. The bottom is quilted and the folds are marked with a satin stitch. For larger trays (to put bread), I have also sewed the ribbon all the way across the sides with a zigzag stitch, like here: Outside: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v237/e-zabelle/04-12-12tray-howto-half.jpg Inside: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v237/e-zabelle/04-12-12tray-howto-inside-half.jpg Hope this helps!

Isabelle-that's how I make mine! Very easy and quick and can be made for a variety of seasons, etc. I usually sew the ribbon all the way across on the outside. The only different thing I do is use fabric on both sides rather than toweling as I usually put baked goods in them as gifts. You ladies should try one or two!
