I get an hour for lunch each day and I try to do some sort of crafty activity during it if I can manage it. I used to bring hexies to work but I’ve gotten bored with them. I realized I could easily bring stuff to wrap cotton clothesline for fabric bowls!
Here is my setup:
I have a bin with fat quarters, a 45mm rotary cutter, a cheap rectangular ruler with inch markings on it, cotton clothesline and some paper binder clips. I cut the fat quarters into 3/4″ – 1/2″ strips (doesn’t have to be perfect) and wrap away! When I do two or three fat quarters I trim off the end, put on a binder clip and save it for when I’m ready to sew everything together into a bowl.
I have 3 bags full of wrapped clothesline waiting for me to sew into fabric bowls now. Want to learn how to make fabric bowls? Here is a handy video tutorial that I made that shows you how!
Eventually the wrapped clothesline will start to look more like these:

Как мне нравятся такие чаши! Я у вас увидела впервые и попыталась сделать. Сделала коврик http://wwwdraconpodelki.blogspot.com/2012/06/blog-post_12.html и маленькую пробную корзинку http://wwwdraconpodelki.blogspot.com/2012/06/blog-post_8031.html. Правда верёвки использовала намного тоньше, что-то побаиваюсь брать толстые. Но с толстыми мне фактура нравится больше.
Ваш миски и ковер выглядеть действительно хорошо! Я с вами согласен, упаковка это похоже на медитацию.
I enjoyed your videos. I may give it a try. can you do another video of how to make the handles?
I think this looks like a good way to use up fabric scraps!
Many thanks!
