About the Designer...
     Hi! My name is Lee Anne Green, the designer behind Ladesigns2! I live with my wonderful hubby, 2 children and one spoiled dog in beautiful Lexington, Kentucky. I am a teacher and LOVE to sew in my spare time! After I had kids I quit teaching for a while to stay home with them. Sewing was a way to earn a little extra money!
    I grew up watching my mother sew for me and my brother, so it just came naturally to me, when I had kids that I do the same! Fabric was her passion too!
    I started out on Ebay making those placemat purses years ago, remember those? Now I make all kinds of fabric organizer baskets for the home, Easter and Halloween baskets, bags, purses, key fobs and even the occasional dog collar and leash! Pincushions are my current favorite to make!

Review...

At Ladesigns2, organizing is fun, colorful, and exciting with a huge selection of Fabric Organizer Baskets! There's a basket for every room in your house, and you won't want to stop at just one!

I received this Apple Fabric Organizer Basket! This basket is so versatile, and yet so functional at the same time! There's no excuse for boring, plain storage baskets when you can get something cute like this from Ladesigns2. Her baskets measure approximately 8.5 inches by 5.5 inches for the base, and are 6 inches tall. Between the 2 layers of fabric there are multiple layers of interfacing to give the basket a somewhat sturdy structure. The seams are all professional and absolutely perfect too. Oh, another awesome feature is that these baskets are REVERSIBLE! The reversible function works very well, and the green polka dot fabric that became the exterior of this basket pulled tight to create the same taut look as the apple fabric.

This basket has SO many uses...for your mail, craft supplies, kids toys, office supplies, bathroom hygiene/toiletries, diapers and wipes (as a fun caddy!!), CD's, DVD's, jewelry in boxes, and a lot more. Pretty much anything you can think of that needs to be organized but you want it done in a cute way. Lee Anne also has another great idea for these...as a basket for birthdays or baby/wedding showers to fill with fun goodies! Since Lee Anne is also a teacher, she can probably tell you how much teachers LOVE these baskets too.

I absolutely ADORE this basket. The apple print is just gorgeous! It's been holding lots of review items for this event for me!! I'm looking forward to finding a new spot and use for it shortly. Maybe on my kitchen counter for recipes? Coupons? We'll see, but all I know is I want more of these at some point!

Ladesigns also has an Ebay profile! You'll definietely want to check out her profile page to see all the elaborate baskets, handbags, totes, backpacks, diapers bags, and cute pin cushions she's made before too.

How cute would these be in a baby nursery or in a little one's room!? She has SO many fabrics to choose from, so head on over to Ladesigns2 and check them out!
