Very nice tutorial. I have found another way of doing my strips. I don't cut them on the bias, that way you can use many scraps. I then cut and sew the strips together and put them through my bias tape maker. It's so fast and you don't have the raw edges.

Eddie - approx how much fabric did it take to make the bowl?

Eddie

I used about a yard on each. Since I was cutting on the bias I had large triangles of fabric left over, and needed some of those for the larger bowl to make extra strips, but didn't needed them for the smaller bowl. So a yard of fabric would work either way.

I have checked 3 hardware stores in our area plus a K-Mart and a Walmart in another town and none of them had the all cotton clothesline rope. All said "I know they USED to make it," but now all they have is a poly or nylon blend. I'll keep looking.

Check back by the fab dept and ther is cotton cording two sizes with the curtain hard ware... that is where I get mine for smaller bowls. The are 10 yd pkgs. Also if you have Pacific fabrics they cary it or you can but it there also buy the yard...
I have made many of these and baskets with lids. And nesting sets of bowls.
You may PM if any questions

Thank you, Connie. I'll try the hardward store again in the drapery/curtain dept. We don't have the fabric store you spoke of but we have Joann's so I'll also check with them. Thanks again.
