Its a Wrap: Sewing Fabric Purses, Baskets, and Bowls

Cant wait to try some of these ideas out. I am in the middle of redoing my craft room, so I have to wait to get started. Cant wait.

Cant wait to start learning more about rope/fabric bowls and art in general!

Nice to have a new technique.

Step by step instructions are clear and complete. Ive made two projects and Ive had ok results. Following the instructions is easy, but there is definitely some practice needed before you have a good looking product like they show you in the book. The projects also take a lot of time. Between cutting the strips, wrapping the cord, and sewing the project, I was surprised at how much time is invested.

Ease of use

This is a great book, easy to follow instructions with pictures of what you need to do! These projects go together easily with a little practice on my first piece -easy to adapt my own fabric design to personalize the baskets, Ive made. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to add a new craft into their spare time.

This was a great book full of great ideas and easy to follow instructions. I made several of these in various sizes and shapes and found it to be extremely simple, even on my very old, cheap sewing machine! All you need is a zigzag stitch! A great way to use up my piles and piles of scraps I have been hanging onto for just the right project!

If you sew then you CAN make these baskets and it is SO much fun. I made my first one yesterday using a sewing machine that is anything but fancy, on the front porch of our weekend cabin. This time my sister will get her birthday present early along with the book (inexpensive enough that I will get another)....I intend making many more - now I know what to do with all my colorful scraps. This is so much faster than real basket making and allows for more individuality I think.

Book is made of sturdy material. Colorful pages. Easy to understand for the most part. I am fabric wrapping illiterate but am learning. Am currently making a basket and lid and really enjoy the art of creating.

It didnt go so well. I kept breaking needles, and I was at a conference where all I had to do was create the basket. My instructor gave up on me after a while.
