Have you tried Eddie's way of making them? Gluing fabric to rope and then sewing? Which way did you like best? I usually do it Eddie's way and then saw this tutorial..covering rope as you sew. It wasn't as easy for me. Guess I will stay with gluing first.

I did the sewing to the rope too. It wasnt easy for me but some of the others turned out beautiful baskets.

he is my helper and he really is a pest when I want to sew because he wants to do everything. I have to let him sew on some scraps before I can even attempt to sew anything.
