Category: Sewing

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Casual


Materials

Dyed Clothesline, fabric

What was your inspiration?

Bought the book "It's a Wrap" and wanted to try different ideas clothesline bowls.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

It's actually a lot easier and faster to sew the clothesline without the fabric. Alternating fabric with clothesline gives a nice look and also colored thread on plain clothesline is another way of making a basket without fabric but adds color.

Thanks, Wrapping is a little difficult and takes time to get it right, that's one reason I thought I'd try dyeing the rope.

Love the dyed cord, never thought of that. I've been making fabric bowls also, only I sew the fabric onto the cord. Wrapping was really hard for me. I just Love your work. Check out my bowls sometime. :)
