Not difficult at all...winding the fabric onto the rope takes the most time...after that sewing it into shape took very little time....to mix it up we did some winding, then some sewing, then some winding until we were done. At home now I feel doing this gives me purpose as I'm accomplishing something for a project.

Did your class follow a pattern?

If so, may we have the name of it?

It was probably this book:

Hmmm..... I'm thinking that wrapping cord would make my tv viewing more productive. May have to buy that book!

It looks great. One of my guild members took a class at a retreat and made one. It makes me want to try one after seeing that one and all these other postings.

They look like cute gifts.
