In this tutorial I show you how to make a fabric basket/bowl using strips of fabric and cording/clothesline/filler cord. This is a simple project that is great to make when using up old clothes or fabric scraps.

Be sure to put in a new needle in your machine before trying to sew through the cording. If you break a needle or your machine jams up DO NOT CONTINUE. I would only suggest this project if you are confident you have a machine that can handle the bulk. Do not attempt with really small, mini, or battery operated sewing machines.

  • Hi Vanessa, I was wondering if you have this video in Spanish? Some of my sewing friends are more fluent in their mother language than English. Thanks. Lovely tutorial as always.

  • @3838bbla I don't have this tutorial in Spanish since I just began doing them all in both languages. Sorry!

  • Wow. You don't have an etsy store do you?

  • @MiaVitaBella No I don't. I don't sell my items these days. Just don't have the time to make inventory... plus, I have a lot more fun teaching new projects to all of you guys! :o)

  • Really great video! Thanks for taking the time. I'm on a short budget but have sewing experience and this saved me buying a pricey book. I look forward to making some of these for my expected grandaughter and I'll pass the site location on to others. Thanks!

  • @ldanner21 So glad to hear that I saved you money! I know how important that is in this economy! Let me know how they turn out for you. :o)
