Could some one PLEASE HELP EXPLAIN THIS PATTERN?

Okay everyone you all know I am no sewer but I want to make a liner for a basket this liner I have provided the link.....

I just find the way they wrote this a VERY confusing..

Steps:

1. Measure halfway around the basket along the top edge, from the

midpoint of the head of the basket to the midpoint of the foot of the basket (the basket used on air measured approximately 43 inches).

Measure the same distance again, but this time measure around the basket along the base edge (the basket used on air measured approximately 33 inches). Write these measurements down.

MY QUESTION FOR STEP 1:

** when THEY SAY to measure half way around the basket along the top edge from the midpoint of the head to the midpoint of the foot DO THEY MEAN JUST HALF? LIKE TO THE MIDDLE ?

THEN IN STEP 2:

2. Measure the height of the bumper pad. Taper it slightly to fit a curved basket. To get the appropriate taper, the bumper should be higher (10 inches) at the head of the basket and slightly lower (nine inches) at the foot of the basket

MY QUESTION FOR STEP 2:

THEY ARE MEASURING INSIDE THE BASKET CORRECT?

STEP 3:

NOW WE JUMP TO THE CRAFT PAPER..................lol

3. Just above the lower edge of the craft paper, draw a line that is

the same length measured for the base of the basket (in this case, 33

inches). Center this line on the paper.

MY QUESTION FOR STEP 3"

DID THE DRAW THE BASE OF THE BASKET FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE BASKET?

STEP 4:

4. To get the proper "taper" on the pattern, take the difference from

the top of the basket's measurement and the bottom measurement. Divide

this number in half.

Example for the basket used on air:

1. 43" - 33" = 10"

2. 10"/2 = 5"

MY QUESTION I THINK I MAY HAVE THIS PART RIGHT LOL........

THEY TOOK THE MEASUREMENTS IN STEP 1 AND THE EASUREMENTS FROM STEP 3 IGHT?

STEP 5.

5.At one end of the line drawn on the paper, measure over the distance

calculated when subtracting the basket bottom measurement from the top

measurement and dividing in half (in this case five inches). Measure up

10 inches and draw a dot. At the other end of the line, measure over

the distance calculated when subtracting the basket 's bottom

measurement from the top measurement and dividing in half (in this case

five inches). Measure up nine inches and put a dot. With a yardstick,

connect those dots with a horizontal line (figure A). Connect the

horizontal lines with a diagonal line on each end.

MY QUESTION:

I AM LOST ON STEP 5 ARE YOU SUPPOSE TO USE THE CRAFT PAPER YOU DREW THE BASE ON? I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE SAYING

COULD SOME ONE EXPLAIN THIS CLEAR...........

STEP 6: AND REST loL

THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT HANDLES THE BASKET LOOKS LIKE IT HAS HANDLES ALREADY????????????????????

ANY HELP WITH THIS PATTERN WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
