I have been going to try this technique when I saw it posted on here. I haven't found the cotton clothes line yet. I know I can get the piping at Joann fabrics, but with everything else on my list, I haven't gotten any yet. But it is on my list!!
Good luck on the one you are working on now...............post pictures when done.

I make coaster,placemats,purses ,coin bowls and regular bowls. I use 2yds of line for coasters and 3yds for coin bowls. Nice way to use small pieces of leftover line.

Wonky or not, I like it. Would make a great basket to hold snippets or scraps for your next scrappy, or the tools idea was good.
I think I will have to put this on my to do list. It is getting much longer since being on this board. Imagine that!
