A W E S O M E !! I was so tired of seeing these items made with a glue gun!!! I have a Bernina, I have decorative thread, I have rope!!! WOOP WOOP!!! Thank you so much!!!
Today is a difficult day for me. Yesterday there was a mass shooting at an elementary school in a nearby community. Our news is full of the details and I'm on overload. I needed something to listen to that was more engaging than music, preferably funny. TH-cam tutorials usually hit the spot. This video re-dropped on my connect screen for TH-cam. I immediately clicked to watch again because it's Karen Brown. Of the MANY things she does well, she's my go-to for a soothing voice, no muss nor fuss and something fascinating to discover. Karen, if you read this, thank you.
Having my first coffee this morning and ran across your tutorial on rope “do dads”. I’m on my second 1000 ft of cotton rope now. I’m just as addicted to it as I am to quilting,, HELP 😂. Wish I could show you what I’ve made so far. After seeing your large Market Bag I do believe it will be next. For the past few years as Christmas gifts I’ve made some type of sewing project for my family; which seem to grow each year. Gifts have been aprons, pillowcases jellyroll rugs and pat year was Sliced Rugs. 17 rugs each year😂. I am so blessed to be able to do all the stitching I do and plus watch tutorials such as yours to inspire me. KEEP ON STITCHIN❤
You are amazing that looks like such a fun project! What is wrong with people who do this thumbs down stuff? I will never understand why you tube allows it anyway. It is nothing but negativity. If they don't like what they see they can move on, no one needs to hear it...OK, I'm stepping off my soapbox now. LOL
I just put the rope in my Amazon basket. I don't have a sewing machine, so I'll be doing it by hand, but this will be fun once I practice hand sewing it. Thanks for the excellent video!
Ok! You are my new hero. Just retired in June 19. It’s fate that I would find a crafts person of your caliber to help me with all the fabric I have in my stash!!
Ohhhhh!I make my baskets sewing by hand,doesn't take long at all.I didn't know I could use my sewing machine for THIS Wow...a whole new world for me and my machine.Thank you.
I like the idea of just making coasters. And maybe a “cup” to store them in when not in use? I do love that knitted bag though. Maybe a gift for next year?
I'm not a sewer by any means...in fact I'm just a curious man...and your video caught my eye so I had to take a look. Wow...you are VERY creative and these projects are amazing and have a very artistic and stylish look. I'm sure you've inspired many sewers, and because of this unique method you've developed even inspired people to start sewing. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with the world.
I love to make projects with clothesline rope....I also use other ropes and paracord....lots of fun to create with different materials.. my favourite thread to use is variegate....
Bless you! my mom loves baskets, and so do several friends, and i have NO talent for wicker weaving (and no interest in a new craft!) but i already have a sewing machine and a LOT of rope and threads and scraps!
I’ve been a prolific sewer for about 60 years! You are the BEST, most interesting and encouraging sewer I’ve ever known!! Great job!! Yay for encouraging others with practical advice!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I looked all over at tutorials for how to join rope ends when I’ve run short of rope for a project. Thank you for this easy tip. Love your channel. I so enjoy your videos. Thanks from Tampa FL. 🥰
I love all your videos. I'm not a quilter. I upholster professionally, and have my workshop attached to my home. When I have some 'me time', I craft. I find your videos helpful for both sides of my life and I have told friends who do quilts about your videos. I'm thinking of using my scraps from my many projects to make rag rugs and now after watching this to make some of these projects as well using scrap ropes (instead of actual rope). Thank you very much for these wonderful videos and thank you for being you.
You just saved me $50 bucks! I have had my eye on rope baskets waiting for them to go on sale. I had no idea they were so easy to make. Peevee Mart here I come!
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for sharing these ideas! I'm going to Amazon right now to order what I need. I lost all my hearing overnight a few months ago so I dont leave home much, these adorable baskets will help keep my mind busy and off my dramatic life change. Thanks again.
@@JustGetitDoneQuilts Thats ok! I have the time. I made little stuffed bunnies for my granddaughters for Easter and I've been shopping online for baskets to fill but now.... I'm going to make the baskets! Yay! Soooo, much better than buying what everyone else has. Thanks again for sharing your ideas I just love it.
I was watching a channel with the same project ideas I think crafty patty and between the 2 of you I feel like I could start a business from making these type of gifts. So very informative, and love your style of video here. I definitely have to watch more. Thank you so much.
Breathing *is* important when dealing with frustrating tasks, so this say is funny, and true! 😁 I bought clothes line years ago to make things with. I'm going down to my little sewing room right now to try the technique. Thank you!
JUST FOUND YOUR VIDEOS , THIS IS ONE OF THE NEATEST PROJECTS I HAVE COME ACROSS IN A LONG TIME T HIS IS SOMETHING I REALLY WANT TO DO! THANK YOU FOR SHARING. YOU DO A VERY GOD JOB IN THE INSTRUCTIONS !
I think I've heard of this video before, but right now I'm supposed to be sewing but I'm stuck on your video! Lol either way, great video. Lol I have been looking at these videos almost all day. Lol 💙🐝💙
Ii agree with everyone, your delivery is awesome and I love your projects. So cool. I have wanted to do this for ages, even have the rope, and now maybe I can finally get this done. I will offer one thing, your machine most likely has a knee lift. If you were to use it, it would make this project so much easier, especially at the start. You would use your knee to raise the presser foot and your hands would be free to continue holding the rope & scissors. The continuity of your hands being in place will make everything easier as you are not having to put down and pick up your "poking" things. At first you may feel a bit awkward, but after about the third lift you will be saying "OMG, oh yes". Anyway, just a thought.
I'm a crocheter, but happened on your video about creating sn ironing board for a small space. I live in a 1 bedroom and small apartment so there is little space for all my yarn and Whips (Work In Progress). I have bags of yarn sitting in every knook and cranny of my place! I would LOVE to quilt someday but do not have space to set up my machine. Would LOVE to make these baskets!!! Your video is thorough and easy to follow. You have a great voice, too.... very clear and well modulated!!! Thank you for this video. I am subscribing just to see your other ideas and hints along the way. You come across as a good friend!!!! You are an amazing woman!!!
Fantastic, with simple clear instruction. I am going to make the bread basket and the knitting basket and then another knitting basket for my daughter for Christmas.
Thank you!!! Thank you!!! 💜💜 God Bless you😇. What a fantastic idea for gifts. Especially if your on a limited budget and want to give something very special to someone for a personal gift. Love Love Love💜💜💜💜💜
@@JustGetitDoneQuilts I think this idea is really nice. I like all the different items you can make from the clothesline. Thank you also so very much for the wonderful step by step instructions for each project. Video taped very well the step by step instructions. Would love more videos like this video. 💜😇👍
Wow! These baskets are just creative and practical! plus their soft, cute and fun to make! Somehow I miss yout tutorial but I'm glad I found it! can't wait! thanks, Karen! Fun! Fun! Yes!
The best rope is %100 cotton as other lines have colored or black inside which fans out if cut. This did not stop me though. Sewing these projects is addictive. I am planning my 6th project already.
Karen, I was watching this video with mild interest and amusement, and then I got EXCITED when I saw Project #5 Bread Proofing Bowl!!! I make a lot of bread and since I recently started making sourdough breads I've really been wanting proofing baskets to give my boules that great-looking top. But I haven't wanted to spend the money to buy several of them. Now I can make my own. Thank you, thank you, thank you, dear Karen!
Good camera work with dialogue! Love the idea of the thread being decorative. It would be cool to use glow in the dark thread for a nightstand dish 😉. Oh the possibilities 👍❣️
I love the bowls made from cords. I am definitely gong to try this soon.The bowls and trays are very beautiful and definitely works of art. I can’t wait to try making one. I’m sure it will take a long while to make the, near as beautiful as you’d. I am a retired nurse. I thought I would have so much time for hobbies. Turns out I end up taking care of family members after whatever surgeries that they needed. Anyhow you are an inspiration. Thanks so much for the detailed instructions but I’m sure I will be back with more questions. Janice in Tennessee
They are fast and easy...other than that start bit. Bring you sewing machine along and you can get it done. Take care. Nurses need care too so be sure to have a way to refill your spirit
Wow you make such beautiful baskets. It reminds me of Native American artifacts with a modern twist. I love also how you break up your voice overs with some shots of you talking to us on camera!
I have made alot of different items by wrapping the cord with left over fabric strips that are 1/2 to 3/4 wide. You use some fabric glue at the beginning and end of each strip. You can mix and match the colors of the fabrics any way you wish. Make the wrapped cord as long as you need for each item. Then sew into the shapes of the item you want by zigzagging like Karen demonstrated. This is a neat way to use up selvage fabric that you would otherwise throw away.
A W E S O M E !! I was so tired of seeing these items made with a glue gun!!! I have a Bernina, I have decorative thread, I have rope!!! WOOP WOOP!!! Thank you so much!!!
My 9 year old daughter says she really likes this video!
I watched this video several years ago and came back for a refresher!!! Wish I could add another thumbs up! 🤩
GREAT GIFT IDEAS - I have never tried making card baskets, this 72 year old might just give it a try. THANK YOU!
This has come back in a big way. I see this was made 5years ago. thank you for this.

YOU are a Rockstar!!! Solves so many gift ideas!!! Thank you!!
I think you could make the divider part of the marker caddy out of rope instead of foamboard. Great job on this video!
I like the idea of just making coasters. And maybe a “cup” to store them in when not in use?
I do love that knitted bag though. Maybe a gift for next year?
I think I will make some of these for Christmas gifts!! Thank you Karen!
I make bowls for Easter the kids love them and use them all year!
I luv you..fun...cheerful ...encouraging...clever and above all productive ...🇨🇦🇨🇦
Love it!! Will be making coasters soon!!!

You present yourself very well. Your pretty, smart and speak nice and loud so I can hear you very well.
Thank you so much for this video. Now I can make a banneton basket for my breads.

This is addictive
I'm a Bernina (older machine) lover too!
Tryy rolling 4 rounds , put pins in at 12, 3 , 6 & 9, stich across 3 rolls , then start stiching around & around.
Me encantó, gracias gracias. Un saludo cordial de mi parte
These are fabulous! thank you belatedly - you may have solved at least 2 christmas gifts for 2020 :)
You can dye the cord as well to personalize it some more. I dyed my cotton cord green and followed the directions above.
I loved it! My greetings from 🇺🇾
I agree...for surprise...dying rope is the best...breathes in an artistic flair into plain boring cord/rope..try it...you’ll like it...🇨🇦🇨🇦
@@paulinechapman9319 You can even let the bowl sit in a pot of dye and let the dye travel up the bowl for an ombre effect.
I want to make all the things!!! Beautiful ideas. Thank you for sharing them.

Wow amazing...u r grate for sharing these ideas waiting 4 more
Im working on them
I’ve made sets of coasters using this method with colored para cord rope, but WOW.... you expanded my horizons considerably! Tks!!!
