Fabric Wrapped Watermelon Rope Bowl
No prior experience is necessary – this class is suitable for beginners and experienced crafters alike but attendees must have basic sewing mastery and bring a functional sewing machine that has the capability of sewing a wide zig zag stitch. We will take ordinary rope and wrap it in vibrant, watermelon-colored fabrics to create a one-of-a-kind bowl that will add an eye-catching, whimsical touch to your summertime parties. Not only is this bowl bright and cheerful, but it comes complete with a handy serving tray (included in class fee) for added convenience. Make your summer decorating easy and fun with the Fabric Wrapped Watermelon Rope Bowl!
Come join the fun in this all-day workshop: 10am-12pm: Prepping fabric and 1pm-4pm: Assembling Bowl.
We will have lunch from noon to 1, so please bring a light meal.
Supply List
- Sewing Machine
- Clear or open toe pressure foot
- Denim machine needles
- 100 foot cotton clothesline-removed from packaging and rolled into a ball (You can find these easily at Amazon , Walmart, or Bi Mart.) You want the rope to be 1/4 in or 7/32 in diameter and fairly stiff. If it is too soft the bowl will not hold its shape well. Here are some that I like:
