Another winner! Thanks Julia for showing me how to make my new addiction 😂
These really are addicting. Have fun!
Very beautiful. I always wanted to learn how to make these baskets. Thank you for sharing.
I’ve made over 50 of them. I’ve made the full fabric wrapped and the bits of color here and there. I also string different patterns of beads along the top edge and make decorative yo-yos to hide the end point or a curled design similar to yours. I also make gift display baskets with the large ones. I filled one with all kinds of baby gifts and wrapped in clear cellophane wrap and then made a large bow. I have one great tip. I buy all my “clothesline” cord at Ollie’s it’s 3.99 for 100 feet. I bought out three Ollie’s in my area and one in Florida. I gave every one away as gifts as I do with everything I make. I love your channel. Your art is amazing, thank you for sharing. Blessings.
Hi Bev, I’m not familiar with Ollie’s. Is it a craft store? Thanks for sharing.
@@stitchesbyjulia Ollie’s is across the USA it is like an overstock warehouse type store. I do know the four that I bought out restocked right away. It is an Ollie’s brand cloth line cord cotton outer and nylon inner core.
I have made these baskets and they are so much fun and do not take very long at all. Last Christmas I made all the men in my family a small basket for their keys and pocket change. They were all very impressed.
Great idea!
I did it! Thank you! Mine is a little wonky but my daughter will love it.
Wonky is good! Thank you so much for watching, I am so glad you gave it a go! Julia
I just happened on to your site and have been enjoying your vids... You are such a great artist and so sweet to share your crafts with us. I've done a lot of crafts over the years but quilting is my thing now that I'm retired (neither of my boys got a quilt of their own 😂😖), no time.
Last 2 months I've been into making purses from old jeans and some how I stumbled on to you. I will keep watching 😊
I’m so glad you found my videos. I just joined a quilt club- it’s so fun.
Thank you so very much for demonstrating them. I have wanted to try them...now I must. Yours are lovely and I’m sure the recipients will be delighted.
Hi Patty, Thank you so much for watching. I hope you give it a try. So much easier than I thought!
Hi Julia, I have seen a big trend in these bowls as well as baskets made of rope. Mainly it is big in the machine embroidery community. I haven't tried the embroidery yet. ( Too Chicken on breaking a needle LOL). A hint to blend the ends in at the end, is to cut about an inch to inch 1/2 off the side of the rope on an angle ( like cutting the rope in half towards the bowl, it gives a seamless finish. Hope that makes sense. As always great tutorial. Be safe and Happy.
Hi Janet, Great hint on cutting the rope. I will certainly do this on my next batch. I hope to make more of these for my summer shop. I think they will be great addition. Have a great weekend, Julia
Hi Julia, I love the Fiber effect. I've made several plain & fabric wrapped bowls-very addictive. I just finished a heart shaped coaster..difficult on thumbs but wrapped in pink for breast cancer Dr & a candle or mug on top would be a cute set. Thx for sharing.!
A heart shape- how cool!
I want to let you know that I watched this video awhile ago and have been making baskets not stop in different cords , sizes, additions in the form of coloured pieces and different ways to end the process. I love it and have had many compliments. Really helpful for my sanity these days :) ! You have inspired me so many times Julia! Thank you.
Hi, I am so glad you are making baskets. I hope to make a bunch for my summer shop. I love how easy they are and all the possibilities. Thanks so much for your comment. Julia
Thank you for the video! Very cute. I will try this out!
I luv making these baskets ....I’ve been exploring shapes and colors.....sew much fun.....✂️🧵
Hi, I am having so much fun with these too! So many possibilities!
Amazing! Your videos inspire me so. Much. Thank you
Thank you so much!
These would make great table mats....I'm thinking I could dye the mat afterwards.
Brilliant idea...love them so thank you for sharing.
Grace and peace to you

Hi, I thought about the dyeing too. I think there would be good results with the cotton cord. So many possibilities. I like the idea of table mats. Thanks for watching, Julia
Love them!
Oh my gosh, these are so great! I have to try this! Thanks for the ideas. I’ve never seen this before. I can see these all over my craft room and as a great gift to send to my penpal in the U.K. Love them all.
Hi Robin, The colorful one I made in this video is a new addition to my craft room. I really love it. I hope you give this a try. I was so amazed at how easy it was. Have a great weekend. Julia
@@stitchesbyjulia I plan on it, I have the rope in my cart. I received my sunglass case yesterday and used it today on my birthday! It’s so cute! It was my treat to myself. 🥳 Have a great weekend!
I have not tried one yet, but several people in an online embroidery group I belong to have made and then embroidered on them.
One of my favourite crafts - I’ve done many different versions. Nice to see my favourite crafter doing them!
Hi Tracy, I am so addictive to making baskets now. I always thought it was harder than it is. And so many possibilities! Thanks for watching. Julia
I love making rope bowls! It's addictive. And I love using them. They're great to have in different sizes for craft projects. And my husband loves his oval one that's perfect for the TV remotes.
Hi Susan, I agree-so addictive. I want to add some for my little summer shop next year. The possibilities are endless! Thanks for watching and commenting. Julia
Beautiful!!!
Thanks love the simplicity and the small added fabric.
That is just AwEsOmE!! 💖👍
I will give that a try. It'll be worth the wait in line at Walmart😊....
ugh- I just waited in line for 30 minutes at Walmart. The person in front of me bought over $400 in groceries. I need to destress in my craft room for the rest of the afternoon. LOL
My wait in line was 38 minutes. The weather was warm with a nip of chilly breeze, coming from Los Lunas, New Mexico. Sweater weather for me!😊👍
I have made baskets like these. I wrapped fabric scraps around the cord as I coiled it. A fun project!
I definitely going to try the fabric wrapping. So many possibilities. Julia
I love these Julia! 🐞✌️🕉️
Lovely😍thank you for sharing❤️
I've been wanting to try this. I love the way you added the colored fibers, and how you covered the join with the ultra suede.
I loved your tab to finish off the end, so I decided to try making one with some scraps of clothes line I had. It was as easy as you said it would be. Getting new clothesline tomorrow! Thanks.
I'm so glad you gave this a go! I love the results of these bowls and can't believe how easy it is. I'm going to make more this winter too.
Thank you, Julia. Can't wait to try this idea....great instructions and inspiration.
Thanks for watching! I hope you have a chance to make some baskets. So much fun and easier than it looks!
I haven’t tried them yet, but have been watching the tutorials for several weeks.
I’m going to definitely try them. Thank you for your tutorial. Love the way you finished yours.
Hi Rita, I hope you give it a try. I really like the finished results!
I've made some of these coasters but was puzzled on how to end them. Such a great idea to cover with a little bit of fabric. Thanks for the idea! Now I will attempt a basket. You make it look so easy
Hi Barb, I'm glad you gleamed an idea from this video. I now want to make more coasters! I think I'll make them from twisted fabric cord. This is such a fun method!
I'm late to the party, haven't seen these before!! I love them, especially the one with the coloured fibres. Thanks for the tutorial Julia.x
Hi, I'm always late to the party too LOL! I love color so the fiber one is also my favorite. So many possibility with these. Thanks for watching, Julia
I love the baskets as well as all of your ideas.
Thanks for showing the different projects, and I like the colored fibers you added! I started out making a shopping bag. I used a dark brown thread so you could see the stitching. The bag was a larger size so it took a lot of thread. When I ran out of thread and had to start with new thread, my back stitching showed. When I completed the project, I went back and did a tighter zig zag stitching over the starts and stops. I also added more of these tighter zigzags randomly as part of the design. If you push the rope too tightly as you are sewing, it may create a wavy effect. My shopping bag turned out to be an oblong basket with slight waves along the sides. From across the room, it almost looks like pottery. I just love the finished project even if it was not what I started out creating.
Hi, Thank you so much for your comment. I really like your idea of using different colored thread and the different zigzag affect. So cool! I had so much fun with this project. I will be making more for my little summer shop. Thanks for watching, Julia
Love the colorful fibers very cool!!!
There is a product call Stiffed by Aleen I think. it is a spray and it will keep the basket firm.
Thanks for the tip!
These are so pretty. I love the clear directions and all your videos. I made something nice the first attempt!
You are amazing. Thank you for sharing your artistry with all of us, you have been a highlight in my life during this very difficult year.
Happy sewing 🧵
Hi Terry, Thank you so much for your kind, encouraging words! It truly means the world to me and helps me to keep going!
I’ve made some of these in the past but you’ve done it so much easier than the way I did it, yours came out very nice! Thank you Julia for sharing, I’ll definitely do it the way you’ve done it :)
Hi Julia - These are just as cute as can be!!! I’ve seen other people make them. Never tried it but it looks fun. All the different fibers and things you can add just makes them so pretty. Saving this for when I have some time to play. Stay warm, safe & sane! Hugs.
Hi Pam, Hope you are well! We are still able to walk every day here. The weather has been unseasonable warm and mild. Yeah! It sure makes a difference in my mood. I was amazed at how easy these baskets were to make. I hope to make more for my summer shop. Have a good day! Julia
I have made some of these. I bought thick clothesline ropes in various colors. I wasn’t sure what to do after ending, so I glued on cute heart buttons. I love your tip about starting with straight stitching to secure well. When I did mine I just started the zigzag.
Very nice tutorial, thanks. And I love all of your videos.
Hi Gila, The button is a great idea for the end. Another viewer also mentioned that she used fabric yo-yo's. So any possibilities! Thanks so much for watching. Julia
I made Christmas gifts last year using “clothesline” rope. They turned out great! On some I wrapped material around the rope to give color to a few rows. Others I used different color threads. Your right, they are easy to make. Important to keep the bottom completely flat. Thank you for sharing! I love the bit of color fiber you added!!!
I'm really having fun with these. I am definitely going to try the fabric wrapping. Thanks for watching and commenting. Julia
LOL, you're a kindred spirit. I bought some cord a couple of days ago 🥰
Yeah! I hope you give it a try. I can't believe how cool they turned out. I am giving the big one to my daughter-in-law. I know she is going to love it. Thanks so much for watching, Julia
I’ve made several of these. Love the idea of adding fiber! My next baskets will include machine embroidery in the bottom before forming the basket. Thank you for the videos. Always fun projects!
Hi Mary, That's such a great idea! There are so many possibilities with these. I plan on making a bunch for my summer shop next year. Thanks for watching, Julia
Hi Julia How fin, I’ve just been maling baskets too.
Yeah! Aren't they fun to make? Thanks for watching, Julia
Hi Julia I love these bowls and coasters! I’ve never made any of these, but I have made a rug. Xoxo 😘
I just made two small baskets…what fun! So much easier than it looks. I also added some red fuzzy yarn to my larger one and put a long-leaf (BIG) pine one in it..so cute. Thanks for the tutorial…love your videos…Merry Christmas🎄
Hi Patricia, I'm so glad you are making baskets. Isn't it fun? I really love the different possibilities. I have to make more! Merry Christmas, Julia
I love this... thank you... I will do this... Love your texture idea also... so adorable.
Those are just beautiful Julia. Thank you for sharing! Have a great December!
Hi Julia! I just started making these rope baskets, and I am addicted! I love color so I am wrapping mine with fabric strips, and I love how they are coming out. I was also surprised at how evenly and easily they come out! So now I wanna make a bunch!!
Hi, I agree. The rope baskets are so much fun to make. What a great idea to wrap with fabric! May I ask where you are getting your rope? Thanks so much for watching, Julia
I love these baskets and I can't wait to try one. Thank Julia!
You are so welcome! I ended up making several for gifts and hope to make more for my summer shop. So many possibilities! Julia
Lovely I've got the cord just not done it yet. That's inspiration though thanks. 🎄Have a good week
Lovely! I have never made any baskets. Will definitely give this a try! Thank you, Julia!
These look great maybe after Christmas I’ll have a go , xx
I've been wanting to make one of these for a long time. Yours looks great.
I gave several for gifts and they were a great hit! Hope you have a chance to give it a try.
I absolutely love your creativity! I LOVE the colored fiber bowl! Where do you get those colored fibers? So beautiful! Thanks for another great video!
Hi Dana, I found the fiber used in this video at a garage sale! You never know what you are going to find. Sometimes the hunt is the most fun! Thanks for watching, Julia
So clever - thank you Julia!!
Those are beautiful. I have made a few. Fun to make. Merry Christmas 😊
These look amazing, I too have seen other videos but your process is very straightforward as usual💕 And I just happen to have some of these handy😉. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Nancy, Thanks so much for watching, Julia
ADORABLE!
Hi Julia, your baskets are beautiful! Thank you for sharing, I want to make them after seeing yours, Karen R
I hope you give it a try. It is very easy with good results. Thanks for watching, Julia
These are so cute! I want to make them. Thank you, Julia for the great video!!!
Another beautiful project, thank you for Sharing.x
Thank you! 😊
I love these things Julia ! I have doubts about the rope fitting under my foot, but I will look out for some so I can find out. I like both the plain and the coloured one. I saw it done some time ago, but my machine then could never have done it. If it works for me I will make something next month. They are a great gift for someone, many thanks for sharing.
Brilliant! I will try these!
These are wonderful! I am going to give it a try after Christmas! You are so talented! Glad I subscribed!
Thanks so much! 😊
I have made a few baskets using the rope covered with fabric strips. It was not as easy as I thought it would be and a bit labor intensive. I have one book with different designs, but haven’t made anymore since those first few.
Hi Mary, I too thought the fabric wrapping look labor intense. I think I am going to add fabric to just a row or two on my next batch. Thanks so much for watching, Julia
I love this idea I need to try it for sure. I think I’m going to Walmart after work to get me some of that cord I only hope that my machine will stitch through it! I’ve been having problems sewing through heavy materials my Bobben always seems to get tangled up.Making placemats would be really cool to I wonder how you can make an oval shape?
It’s very easy just start with a two, three, or four inch fold at the beginning instead of curling tight into the circle it will automatically begin the oval shape you desire.
What Bev said!! Start with an oval shape instead of the circle. It should be quite easy to form the oval. Thanks for watching, I hope you can get your machine to work for you. Nothing more frustrating than machine problems. :(
Great job again!!
Loved this idea. Do you know how many baskets the 65 feet of cord makes? Certainly enjoyed watching this. If I get an opportunity to do any before Christmas I will but if not I intend to do some for next year.
The cording I purchase at Ollie’s is smaller in circumference but it is 100 feet I can make one large or two small with one hank.
@@bevcote2357 Thank you
Hi Fran, The 65 feet will give you 2 medium sized bowls. Hope you have a chance to try this project- so much fun and easy. Julia
Que lindo trabalho, genial. Muito obrigada ☺️
Loving all you share. I am wondering about your sewing machine. It seems to do a lot ..... I am impressed that you are able to go through such thick layers. Could you please let me know what model//brand it is ..... thank you
Hi Ann, I am using a Janome Memory Craft 8200. I have had mine for 10 plus years. Juki's are also great sewing machines! Thanks for watching, Julia
What a fun video and craft! Your explanations and demonstrations are great! Thanks for making this for us. :)
Question: Can I just use a cotton fabric tab instead of leather/faux leather/suede? I could tuck the raw edges so they are top-stitched or zigzag over those raw edges. What do you think?
Hi, Yes that would work great. There are so many ways to finish these. I hope to make more soon. Julia
Muy hermoso trabajo 👌👌👌
❤❤❤
Hi Julia
I just watched the tutorial… it’s awesome…..
I would like to know the type of machine used…. Or any zig zag machine will do the work ?
Hi, Any zig-zag machine should work.( As long as it's not a lightweight) I am using cotton cord and my needle has no problem going through it. These baskets are fun to make and I love the results.
I've really liked the projects. But isn't there a problem if you feed the suede through the sewing machine after putting the glue? Thanks for starting
Let the glue dry completely. No gumming, no problems.
Hermoso trabajo me gustaría hacerlo pero donde consigo la fibra de colores que le agregas ?
Hi Elia, I got the colored fiber at a specialty yarn shop. Thanks for watching, Julia
Great job as always, colorful and creative. Can you explain why You Tube keeps putting overlays of other videos at the end - it is very distracting and sometimes I can see the workmanship. Thanks
I meant to say, I CAN'T see the workmanship.
I am hoping you still check this and can give me some advice. I can't always get my trivets to lay completely flat without stiffening them. Am I winding cord too tight?
Hi, I'm not sure what is happening. Maybe experiment with a longer zig-zag as well as loosening the cord winding. Also, the cord that I use is 10 MM in width. A finer cord may tend to curl. Hope some of this helps. Thanks for watching, Julia
Do you think this can be done on a bernette sew and go 8? Can this machine make it with the rope or it will break?
Hi, I think it is worth a try. This cord is quite soft and is quite easy to sew through. It is a cotton cord rather than a nylon cord which is stiff. I hope that helps, let me know. Julia
love these
Como posso aprender mais sobre esta técnica?
Hi, There are many RUclips videos on this technique. Search "making baskets from cord". Thanks for watching, Julia
Could macrame cording be used?
Hi, Yes- it should work. The cord I am using is approximately 1/4" in diameter but smaller or bigger cord will also work. Thanks for watching, Julia
Loved the baskets! Exactly what type if fibers did you use to add the color. Where they pieces if yarn or material?
Hi, It was a piece of yarn that I had gotten from a yard sale. I didn't have much of it left but I really liked the addition to this bowl! Thanks for watching, Julia
@@stitchesbyjulia Thank you for responding! I love the baskets, especially the one with color. Thank you so much for Sharing! I will definately try this when I get time. I am in the middle of 2 projects just now.
how many of metr for making this basket
Hi, Approximately 10 meters for a mid-sized basket. The cord I buy comes in a 65 yard hank and it makes one large and one small basket. Thanks for watching, Julia
@@stitchesbyjulia thank you so much for your answer 😍
They r beautiful. I was watching this video about Inkscape. U might like it. Check out Lisa Caleb RUclips channel she did a video on it
Wish I could do 100 likes!,
Thank you so much for the encouragement!
