    This is excellent ! I have just made a beautiful bowl with your folded edge on the strip, this worked out superbly well, so many wonderful ways. I don't join my strips but glue with a Lapel stick the ends to the cord, I just find it is easier to manage one strip at a time, thank you for your excellent teaching, so appreciated.

    Sorry to be a bother, but I didn’t ask my question properly, I don’t have enough stash material as I just started sewing, and will need to purchase. So if I were to buy material how much would I need, say a half yard or 3/4 yard? Will batiks work for this project?. I have never seen this before and your fabric is so beautiful and reminds me of the colors of the ocean! Thank you so much for your tutorials and taking the time to answer this newbie!

    • @CraftyPattiArtsCrafts
      @CraftyPattiArtsCrafts  5 лет назад

      I think I was able to answer your original question to give you an idea of how much fabric to buy. So have a look at my comment to your first question.
      But yes for an average size bowl I would buy 1 meter of fabric.
      Batik fabrics are gorgeous and work really well for the rope bowls.

    Thank you for such clear instructions. I am considering making the bowl out of my recycled clothes. I would cut the clothes up and then cut the bias strips. Do you think the bowl would “form” out of tee shirt, cotton, synthetic strips or should I wait on the recycled strips for another project? Thank you. Do you have thoughts?

    • @CraftyPattiArtsCrafts
      @CraftyPattiArtsCrafts  Год назад

      As long as the material from your clothes is similar to a cotton you should be good to go. Great way to recycle clothes!

    Hi Patti! I just discovered you on RUclips and am absolutely delighted and impressed by your creations.
    I myself who is 70+ and live in Sweden, love to needlework.
    Previously we had a group that met every week but since we are all 70+ we belong to a risk group in the current pandemic so we have to stay home.
    But still, I'm going to try to make rope bowls but wonder what kind of fabric you use to wrap the ropes? Please tell me so I can buy what I need through the internet. Love from Gudrun

    • @CraftyPattiArtsCrafts
      @CraftyPattiArtsCrafts  4 года назад +1

      Hi Gudrun in Sweden! It’s so cool that I get to chat with people all over the world. So glad you found me! I miss meeting up with friends as well. At least we can craft our little hearts away. In the video I used a batik cotton. It’s very tightly woven fabric but as you know it is more costly. I tend to use quilting cottons the most because that’s what I like. But really you could use broadcloth, any type of cottons or any smooth fabric as in these times it is what you can get or already have on hand.

    I watched your video. Thank you. Question... since I cut on the bias, why did my fabric fray anyway?

    • @CraftyPattiArtsCrafts
      @CraftyPattiArtsCrafts  Месяц назад

      Depending on the fabric you are using. Batik cottons will have almost no fraying and some other others may have a little more but just for a test. Cut a piece of your same fabric with the grain and one piece on the bias and see if you see the amount of difference with the frayed edges.

    Thank you for great explanation. Can we make a hot pad with same method? Just not turn it upward - stop before that point or just continue base for size of pots or pans or dishes. Anything I would need to know about placing a hot pad on table with this cotton or batik fabric?

    • @CraftyPattiArtsCrafts
      @CraftyPattiArtsCrafts  5 лет назад

      So many things you can make with the rope as is or by adding the fabric strips for color. I thought about doing a video just on the hot pads or trivets but thought it might be too basic for a video. Maybe I will done one for you. And yes, you certainly can stop before you start making the sides of the bowl and make coasters, hot plates, rugs etc. You can use any cotton fabric you like.

How much of this blue fabric did you use to make this bowl? What fabric is this, cotton or synthetic or blended?

  • @sheilasantiago3715
    @sheilasantiago3715 Год назад

    Hi Patty, I have a question, if I have a narrow piece of fabric, can I fold it first so that both bias sides are together and then fold like you do here? Would that work? I have a very small space for cutting and also some of my fabric is in smaller pieces.
    I just didn't want to try it before asking and end up waisting fabric

    • @CraftyPattiArtsCrafts
      @CraftyPattiArtsCrafts  Год назад +1

      I was just demonstrating if you have a yard(m) of fabric oh how to fold it so you can easily cut the bias strips but yes if you have a narrow piece just cut on the diagonal on the bias for the one layer of fabric. You might have to sew lots of smaller pieces of fabric together to make longer strips but that’s fine too.

    How can you determine the size of your oval bowl? I want to make a mosses basket but I'm not sure how long to make the first line of rope to be able to get a 30 X 18 inch basket.

    • @CraftyPattiArtsCrafts
      @CraftyPattiArtsCrafts  2 года назад

      I’m not great at math and I don’t have a math formula to figure it out for you. I just looked at my basket and doubled it. I started with about 4”(10.2cm) and my basket is about 9x11”(22.9x28cm) Doubled that is about 8” (20.3cm) centre gives me an 18x22”(45.7x55.9cm). So not quite long enough. So my guesstimate is start with a 10”(25.4cm) centre. Can’t guarantee this is accurate so I hope this calculation works for you.

    How do you estimate how much rope (fabric) you will need to make a rope bowl?

    • @CraftyPattiArtsCrafts
      @CraftyPattiArtsCrafts  5 лет назад +2

      It takes about 40-50 ft (12.2m - 15.2m) of rope to make a rope bowl that is about 8"(20.3 cm) across and 6" (15.24cm) high. So you can use that as a rough guide if you want to make a smaller or larger bowl.
      For the fabric strips: It depends if you are going to cover your whole bowl in fabric or just add some accents.
      For an 8" (20.3cm) across and 6" (1524cm) high bowl allow approximately 1 metre or 1 yard of pre-washed fabric to be cut into strips to cover your whole bowl.

  • @sadiejosiemom
    @sadiejosiemom 5 лет назад +1

    Yes, great technique but you can't really compare a strip of quilting cotton to a batik fabric because the nature of batik is that it is woven so tightly that it's less likely to ravel no matter how you cut it.

    • @CraftyPattiArtsCrafts
      @CraftyPattiArtsCrafts  5 лет назад +1

      I wanted to use that particular fabric for the oval rope bowl. Yes, I should have demonstrated the same fabric cut on bias and cut with the grain of fabric to see the true difference but unfortunately I didn’t. But saying that you will still have less fraying when cut on the bias.
