Rope Sewing: Sewing Creative Baskets, Bowls, and Bags with Rope, Yarn, and a Sewing Machine

Rope sewing is a creative sewing technique in which cord or rope is laid in a spiral pattern and sewn together using a wide zigzag stitch. This creates unique bowls, baskets, coasters, and bags. Soft cotton cord works particularly well and can be sewn using a standard home sewing machine. For beginners, small, flat projects are ideal before moving on to sewing larger rope bowls, rope baskets, or rope bags.
