Four Fabric Wrapped Rope Bowls

I made 4 more bowls. 2 are more oval shaped. These are great for using up scraps of fabric, especially batik fabrics.

The front 2 are round and the back 2 are slightly oval shaped.

Green Fabric Wrapped Bag/Purse

I made another fabric wrapped bag using macramé cord. I made handles with cording inserted inside the fabric. I added a green pony tail elastic loop as the closure loop and a stacked button. I also added a large bead on the side that the handles were inserted through.

Fabric Wrapped Bag

My new batik bag. I love how it turned out! I added handles, a flap with Velcro closure and triple-stacked buttons, plus a hook to hold my keys.

I started wrapping these fabric strips around some clothesline over a year ago. I wrapped most of the amount I needed and then wasn't sure what I wanted to make out of it. So it sat in my closet. But recently I got a new bloggie friend, Marisa, and when I went to check out her blog I found her Bali Bag that was so beautiful, I thought aha, that's what I will make is a bag. My method is a bit different than Marisa's and the style of the bag is a bit different too, but both are fabric wrapped around clothesline. I tried the wrapping method that Marisa did on hers (she has video links) and I thought it was harder to wrap and harder to sew without all the seams showing. I gave up on that method and went back to way I have always done mine. Plus I could use up a lot of narrow batik fabric scraps the way I wrap and I still have bags of scraps left. So I will be experimenting and making some more fabric wrapped goodies until I get tired of making them and then maybe I'll get out of my quilting slump!
