Rope Sewing 101 Part 1 and Part 2 In One Day

It’s time to start your Rope Bowl Adventure at Nashua Sew and Vac!
In this session, we have combined the content of two different rope sewing 101 classes in one session.
Part 1 – Learning the Basics
You will learn the tips and techniques of making a basic rope coil bowl on your sewing machine. We will be creating a plain rope coil bowl with a bead and tassel finish.
Part 2 Learning to Wrap
Build upon the techniques that you learned in the Part 1 session and learn how to add fabric wrapping to the sides and integrating a fabric circle to the bottom of your bowl.
The class will run from 10:30 – 3:30. Please arrive at the class 15 minutes early for setup so that we can start on time. Feel free to bring a snack or lunch.
The rope that we will be using has been especially chosen for its quality, durability, absorbency, and feel.
