Creating a Wave Rope Bowl

Creating a Wave Rope Bowl

In this class, you will be building upon the rope sewing skills that you have already mastered and learn how to create a scalloped swirl/wave design with a new wrapping technique and finishing approach.  You will create two projects in class embellished with the wave design – a hot plate trivet and a large bowl

Note: You must have already taken the Rope 101 – Part 1 and 2 class in order to take this more advanced rope sewing class.

The class will run from 10:30 – 3:30. Please feel free to bring a snack or lunch.

On the day of the class, you will need to purchase a kit for this project for $35.00.

The kit will include:

•        Aurifil 50 wt. cotton – large spool (1422 yards)- beige
•        Wooden Beads
•        End cap
•        Rope - 100’ of ¼” All Cotton Solid Braid

Supplies: (please no substitutions)

-        Class Kit

-        Your own sewing machine with zig-zag capability in good working order (we can help you carry it in and out)

-        Extension table for your machine (if you have one)

-        Open toe foot

-        Cotton Rope (included in kit)

-        100 % Quilter's Cotton Fabric Fat Quarters - You may want to use different fabric for each project.  I recommend using fabric with some sort of small overall print or a batik.  

-        For the trivet, you will need (20) 3/4" strips of fabric pre-cut at home on the bias before class.  A fat quarter should provide you with 20. Note that strips can be of varying length.  Do not cut the angled ends off of the strips.

-        For the bowl - you will need (30) 3/4" strips of fabric pre-cut at home. 2 Fat Quarters will provide you with enough fabric for this.

-        2 Bobbins of same Cotton Thread contained in kit

-        Denim/Jeans Needle 90/14 and Topstitch Needle 90/14

-        Scissors to cut rope

-        Small embroidery scissors or snips (curved micro blade snips work well – available at nSV)

-        Sewing Pins – Extra Fine, if you have them (Magic Pins are great)

-        Mini Clips (also called Wonder Clips)

-        Elmer’s School Glue Stick (disappearing purple)

-        Tape Measure

-        Scotch Tape
