Talk about coincidence, I followed your slipper tutorial when I first decided to learn knitting, and now I'm following this tutorial so I can make some basket/bin to store my yarn stash! I'm so grateful you are producing these videos that share hints and tips for each project, not only do you make it look easy, the clarity of your instructions make it easy to make. Thank you and please continue making videos, I promise I'll continue watching.
@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts after the covid shutdown I started commenting on the videos I enjoy and especially those that I could see myself doing. My thought process at the time caused me to comment on videos thinking "we are all shut-in, with little outside interaction so I let people know how much I've enjoyed their videos and I thank them for sharing their talent." Stay safe, stay well, and I can't thank you enough for your videos
Ahh thanks so much. I get many wonderful comments and especially now it really helps to put a big smile on face. I have always been very hard on myself so to get confirmation that I’m doing something right is amazing and a real boost for me!Thanks again for your time to write the comments!
Dear Patti, I have just found your channel this evening. You tutorial is absolutely superb for making a coiled basket. The tips and tricks for adding extra wrapped fabric and the stencilling link really is fantastic. I am an avid of 'TH-cam' fan for my crochet and sewing tutorials. With all the frightening and depressing news right now on TV I come here to here to find solace, and a way in which I can lose myself for a few hours a day. You have brought light in to my life this evening. I can't wait to watch more of your fabulous tutorials, god bless xxxx
Thanks so much Jacqui for the supportive comment. So glad I am bringing light into your life. We have to try and look at the bright side right now for sure. Enjoy! I have lots of videos to keep you entertained!
Wow!!! this is beautiful. You really inspired me. I loved the fact that you showed the entire process to us. I really appreciate that. Love it, love it!!!!
I don’t know if I am super tired today or if your voice, music and machine noise are very soothing, but I am almost asleep watching this. It’s very frustrating as the videos are so wonderful. I am so looking forward to having a go, thank you!
I have watched all the bowl/basket videos on your channel. Thank you so much for providing these. They have answered so many questions I had. The close up in this video is simply amazing allowing someone to really understand what you are doing. I have been so hesitant to try rope bowls however I think you have simplified the instructions. I love the willingness of crafters to share - thank you.
Wow! You’ve been busy as I have a lot of rope bowl videos. So glad you found lots of useful info and are now confident to start making rope bowls. Enjoy!
You are amazingly talented!!! I've learned knitting in the round and casting on from your video and today I've happened upon your needle punch art AND looking now at these fantastic rope bowls. You make me wish I owned a sewing machine
Thank you so much for your wonderful, clear, creative videos! I made lots of baskets of various sizes as Christmas presents this year and received lots of "YOU MADE THIS?" and "WOW". This was all due to your easy going and thorough instructions. Keep coming up with more ideas...you made 2020 bearable to be able to create fun to do projects. I have now hooked others on your videos and they are getting addicted just like me.
Simply beautiful. Your great teacher. Your videos are the best. I think I will give it a try. With your video close by I can't go wrong. Thank you for sharing your creative video. I love 💕 it.
I love how you do that. I got me a sewing machine around Christmas and I found your channel. You are good at this. I want to try to make some. We'll see how they turn out. Lol
I love your baskets and ideas! Do you have a video on how to make the smaller one with the turquoise design that's to your left (our right) on the chest behind you? Thank you for these videos and inspirations!
Thanks Mary and thanks for watching! The one you see in the background is a plain basket and I just painted on a design with acrylic paints. It won’t be as washable as the other ones but you can damp wash the inside portion. But you could get fabric paints instead and then it may be washable.
Thank you so very much for a thorough tutorial! I have been wanting to try this and now after watching your tutorial I feel confident that I can tackle it. Take care! 🙂🇨🇦
Love your tutorial and your baskets. I've got some rope which I hope will fit under my presser foot now I just need to get the shed built so I can sort my craft room and try this.
love it looks so much easier than sewing rope baskets which I have tried not to successful. Going out to buy the bucket can't wait to try. Thank you for such a great priject
I've try this craft but my sewing machine wouldn't go through the thickness properly but I might give it another go. Your baskets are so pretty ! 💁 👍 ❤ 🆒
Thank you so much, Patti! I love your tutorials and have been inspired to try all sorts of things, most have turned out really well 😊 Your instructions are great, very clear and helpful. Its like you’re in the room helping me and I find myself talking to you tho!!! 😂 Can’t wait for the next project! Many thanks 🤗🧶🧵🧺👏🤩
Thanks so much for writing this positive comment. That is my goal to have classroom like tutorials so everyone can understand enough to complete the projects. You made my laugh when you said you find yourself talking to me. Love it. I thought I was hearing things but maybe not. LOL! Enjoy!
Translation: I love your tutorials, you explain it perfectly, I appreciate it, I am learning a lot, blessings ... ¡Muchas gracias! ¡Me alegra que puedas entenderlos y que estés aprendiendo al verlos! Thank you so much! I am glad that you can understand them and you are learning by watching!
Just love your videos. The use of colour on these ones is so pretty. When you demonstrated the Fabric Rope Baskets you folded the fabric over and ironed for a smooth edge. This time, you left the edges raw. Is this just a different method or look? I am thinking I may use the folded technique, would this make the rope too thick for a finished appearance. Thank you so much for your detailed instructions.
Yes, There are no wrongs or rights. Just the look that you want. Folding over the edge of the fabric will give you a firmer basket and eliminate any frayed edges. Keep the fabric open and it is easier to wrap any gives you a more natural look. If you cut your strips on the bias then you will have less fraying.
At time stamp 18:06 I show how to join rope when you are wrapping with fabric strips in this video. th-cam.com/video/U_kr4T5xABM/w-d-xo.html At time stamp 30:37 I show how to join two pieces of rope in this video th-cam.com/video/FVMRSmEHQhQ/w-d-xo.html
Hi Patti, I love your tutorials! Thank you for sharing your talents with us! I was wondering if you have a go-to for ordering rope online in larger quantities for cheap? The sash cord in hardware stores near me is expensive and I would like to make some large baskets like some of yours.
Unfortunately I haven’t found any great sources for the laundry cord. I know. It is a bit on the expensive side. I buy mine at a local hardware store. And I add the Amazon links for rope in the description box of my videos. Well at least we can make a beautiful basket for under $20.
Patti, I have been watching your videos for about a week and am so inspired to try making rope baskets! Why did you hand-stitch the wavy, decorative rope instead of using your sewing machine? Thanks!!
Thanks for watching. Because I wanted a wavy design on the outside of the basket. When you sew on the machine you are sewing on the inside of the basket and it would be very difficult to sew through and actually catch the wrapped design on the outside.
Hi Michele. I’ve been asked this a few times so maybe a good video to come on how to add embellishments and wording. I did show how to do this in a diaper cake with a rope basket. Here the link to the video: th-cam.com/video/R_ZLXeKkUlY/w-d-xo.html Just forward the video to time stamp 18:39 and I talk about lettering. You could also use thin yarn to embroider the letters by sewing around the rounds of cord.
Love your videos, so easy to understand. My question is this, what is the difference between cutting the fabric on the bias versus cutting it on the grain? Does it make a difference in the look or durability? Thanks
Cutting fabric on the bias makes for a nice stretchy strip of fabric and makes for an easier wrap. When cutting fabric with the grain you will notice a lot of fraying on the edges. When you cut on the bias there is much less fraying and makes for a cleaner looking basket.
Thanks for your video tutorials. I've learned a great deal. I have a question about the fabric accents that you add. You find that the edges fray or unravel a bit?
If you cut your fabric strips on the bias it won’t fray much. There are many ways to add fabric to your rope bowls. You can fold over your fabric strips so there is no raw edge showing.
Hi I love watching your TH-cam videos. I have got a question. How do I get the ends to go straight up or at least kinda straight up. I want a 6" oval basket but would like straight sides. Thanks Debbie
Thanks for watching! The smaller baskets are harder to get the straight sides. This is quite often the area that a lot of sewers have a hard time with. But you will get it. When you are ready to form your sides bring your base right up to the head of your sewing machine. Sew a couple of rounds. To aid in forming your sides you can lift the basket slightly off the bed of the machine with your left hand for a couple rounds. When you are assured that you are now forming your sides than let your basket rest on the bed of the machine again. To continue to form straight sides make sure you are always holding your basket at a 90 degree angle to the bed of the sewing machine. Be consistent and don’t change the angle. Continue to sew your sides holding the angle with your left hand and using your right fingers to keep the rows that you are sewing flat against the bed of the machine. Practice makes perfect!
Hi, Do you make the base for each of these baskets at 11" ? Love your videos. I have made your smaller baskets and they are great. I want to make one as a baby gift but wasn't sure if the base was smaller on the 13" wide x 9: high. Thanks
You can make the base any size you want but it is easier to make straight sides if your base is at least as tall as your sewing machine head. I just published a video on that and it might be easier to watch then me putting it into words. Here’s the link to that video. HOW TO - CHOOSE THE RIGHT TOOLS TO MAKE YOUR ROPE BOWLS th-cam.com/video/8jrm5vwhXAc/w-d-xo.html
Hi Patti another beautiful basket video. Thank you so much. Do you think making baskets on the sewing machine is hard on them? I was just wondering if all the steady sewing would be. I love making these baskets and didn't want to wear out my machine doing it.
You might break a few needles now and then and the only thing you should do is frequently clean out the fluff it creates where the bobbin is stored. Other than that it is not hard on the sewing machine.
Anything is worth a try. The rope tends to fray a lot so the less surface cut I find is better. I don’t like to use glue as it gums up my needles and sewing machine but if you wanted to add the extra step you could hand sew the miter edges just enough to hold in place and then sew with machine. Many ways to achieve great results.
Hi Cindy. When I did this video there was a real shortage so didn’t want to supply a link and frustrate everyone. Supplies are better now so I have updated my video. I live in Canada so it is cheaper for me to buy the laundry sash cord from my local hardware store. But I have also bought it on Amazon. Here is an Amazon link if you live in the US for laundry cotton cord. amzn.to/3aSxNqX
Translation: Beautiful..wonderful..greetings from Chile ¡Hola en Chile! ¡Gracias y gracias por vernos! Hello in Chili! Thank you and thanks for watching!
I love your baskets and tutorials! I have had an issue with my coiled rope basket bases warping or curving and not staying flat. I’m really making large base 14” to finish the sides by using crochet over piping. Can you tell me what I’m possibly doing wrong? I’m have a feeling I am using too much tension although I don’t do it purposely. Or is it because of the stitching zig zag is too tight? I’m struggling with this since it leaves the base looking like a bowl instead of flat base. Help? Also in order to make a rectangular or even oval shape, do you have tutorial for how to begin the bases. I’m trying today to make a larger rectangular shape by not rolling into circle rather using a u-shape on base beginning depending on finish size ultimately wanting. Does this make sense? Fingers crossed my ideas work, would love your feedback suggestions. Thank you so much!
I have many rope bowl tutorials. Each one has more tips and tricks. Try watching the first one on how to make rope bowls. Here’s the link. th-cam.com/play/PLp6o7Vy1aS_X3YAB8rzu2g01VwfZ67gEg.html It’s really important to have a flat surface when starting your base for your project. Let the rope fall loose and don’t pull on it when sewing the rounds and let the rope naturally pull into the precious row. The length of your zigzag should not matter. Place your left hand on top of the base while sewing to keep it flat.
Hi Patti, great tutorial....I made one but it was the rope was polyester clothes line...and it wouldnt round up it stayed flat unless I pulled it up and then it seemed floppy....do you think it was because it was all polyester and not cotton? Thank you Kathi
Polyester is very slippery and hard to work with. The cotton grabs better and much easier to sew with. A little bit of practice to form nice straight sides to make a beautiful large bin.
This looks amazing. How many needles do you break when making these baskets,,,,, do you use a heavy weight thread for like sewing denim or cordora,,,,,, and is sewing this rope hard on your domestic machine? Idk if my presser foot would raise high enough to get the rope under it,,,,, but I’m gonna be trying👍.
Hi Melissa. I’ve only broken one needle and I have sewed many many baskets and bowls. I use my all purpose needle and all purpose thread. My sewing machine is working fine after all the bowls I have made. Most presser feet will lift high enough for the cord to fit under. Give it a try for sure!
Hello I have a question, I just got a new Viking machine. The head of machine is larger then my Brothers and sticks out more. Do you think that will effect basket making?
I have a Husqvarna sewing machine which I believe makes the Viking line. I’m able to make my baskets with it. Of course it is an older model so yours may stick out more. Just give it a try on some smaller baskets and see how you do.
Any advice on what kind of sewing machine will make wide enough zigzag stitches? I have a small Janome and the zigzags are too narrow to catch both sides of the rope securely. I was really looking forward to making one of these rope baskets but it’s not working.
@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts thank you for the information! Might need to start shopping for a better machine so I can make some of this cool stuff. I love how clear and easy to understand your videos are.
It’s a bit tricky getting the right machine for rope bowls. Have a look at the video I published and it may give you some ideas on what to look for. th-cam.com/video/8jrm5vwhXAc/w-d-xo.html
That is shown in another video of mine when I was doing a diaper cake. I thought about doing a video on just how to make designs on rope bowls. Maybe I should! Here’s the link to that video and I demonstrate how to embellish rope bowls at time stamp 18:39 if you want to check it out. th-cam.com/video/R_ZLXeKkUlY/w-d-xo.html
I realize it is a year later, since this video was made. I am just hopping some body stumbles across this and can answer my question. I have a Singer "heavy duty" sewing machine. In all honesty it's a mid grade machine.I absolutely love it, but.... Do I need a steel , heavy duty,m500$ machine to do this? Your work isvawdome! With joy, Audri
Here’s a video I published that goes over :How to choose the right tools for making rope bowls. th-cam.com/video/8jrm5vwhXAc/w-d-xo.html It might assist you on types of machines to use for sewing rope bowls.
I love this! Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas, it's greatly appreciated ❤ One question, do you by any chance sell anything you make? Again, thanks for all you do!
At this point in time I am not selling anything I make. It ends up being gifts for friends and family. I should sell it. Lol. I am flat out keeping busy with the 3 sites I maintain now. I could set up my Etsy page again but would create more work for me.
@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts Oh my goodness, you have a lot on your plate! I don't know how you manage it all. (And I thought my schedule was full 😂) Anyway, thanks for making these videos, and remember to take care of yourself 💕
Hi. Where do you purchase your cord? I use 100% cotton clothesline from Canadian Tire, and it's not as firm as what your baskets seem to be. Love making these baskets!! Yours are lovely!!
I always use 1/4” cord and that will make a firmer basket. I buy cord at my local hardware store or on Amazon. I find the Buffalo brand makes the firmest baskets. I have noticed the price has gone way up though. Here’s an Amazon link: amzn.to/3YmYv02
@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts thank you! The price is quite expensive. Cotton 7/32 in. at CTC is $9.99.. I will look at the other hardware stores around here. I have looked at Amazon before, but it only confused me as to what is the better rope. Cheers from ON!
7/32 rope is easier to find than 1/4”. I always use the 1/4” for a firmer basket. You can look online for wholesale rope and you can also check marine stores. They sell a lot of rope.
@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts Thanks. Finished my first basket. Missed a few spots but I went back and sewed them by hand. It came out beautiful thanks to your great tutorial. Keep them coming.
A braided cord is much easier to sew with because it will stay intact but a twisted cord is just twisted together so it will be hard to keep it solid and together while sewing.
When you are ready to start your straight sides. Hold the base flat against the head of your sewing machine and also lift it slightly off the bed of the sewing machine at the same time. Do this for a couple of rounds. When you see that you are forming straight sides then let it rest on the bed of the sewing machine again. While continuing to hold the base against the head of the sewing machine use your right fingers to press the rows flat on the bed of the sewing machine to get straight sides. When you have sewn a few more rounds than I use my left hand to hold it straight up while sewing the rounds and continuing to hold it flat with my right fingers on the base against the bed of the machine. Hope that helps.
Thank you for such great instructions! You are a wonderful teacher. I have made many rope baskets, but I have not been able to achieve a straight side. They end up more like the photos you have on your rope bowl planter video. I like that look but would like to have one with straight sides. I do bring the base straight up after the base diameter is reached but I am still getting the angle. Do you have any suggestions?

@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts I think what I was missing was lifting the basket slightly off the bed of the machine. I also wonder if my machine is a bit wider (from the needle to the far left of the machine head), than yours. Mine measures 2 1/4 inches. So that means that even when I try to hold the base at a 90 degree angle, it just can't be 90 degrees until it grows beyond the 2 1/4" height. Therefore, if I lift the base up off the bed to try to imitate the 90 degrees, I can now see why that is so necessary. When it gets around 2" high, then I can hold the base at 90 degrees. I probably made zero sense, but I think you helped me figure it out. Thanks so much for your response! It's late here, but I want to go practice right now! Your work is something I want to achieve at some point.
Some electronic machines have their head further in and that does make it harder. You sometimes have to scrunch the basket down to create the sides. You are definitely on the right track. Keep going!
@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts I'm so pleased! I made one exactly like I imagined. Your tips were what I needed!! It is amazing what a difference it made to just slightly lift the base. I maneuvered it so that the two rows being sewn together were flat. It seemed like the scrunching would make the sides wonky, but it worked. Thank you for taking the time to help me. I really appreciate it. I don't know if you have seen the baskets by a company called Waterway Trading Co. They create natural baskets and also dyed ones. They add unique embellishments as well. When spring comes, I plan to dye the cord and make some that way. There are so many options. I like the way you added some color (in this video) with a bit of fabric but left most of it natural. 🌺
Im so glad I was able to help you and you stuck with it and now have success. There are indeed so many ways to embellish. I have made lots of videos on that. Not sure how many of my videos you have watched. I showed how to dye the rope as well. Adding fabric of course or adding tassels or any embellishments. So many options indeed. Ou can do stencilling and machine embroidery on them as well. It’s endless for sure.
I’m using KingCord cotton 1/4” sash cord, and for some reason one package will have only cotton core and the next package will have a polyester core, same barcode, and no mention of a polyester core on the packaging in fact it says 100% cotton, anyways, I find that the one with the polyester fiber core is so much easier to shape and form and it’s far stiffer than the non polyester core, even with identical packaging you can actually see a difference in color, the one with poly is natural and the one without poly is bleached
That would be frustrating that the same product is a different dye lot. A lot of the sash cord that says 100% cotton will still have a polyester core. Just the outer layer is cotton.
Hola, si quiero elaborar una cesta para ropa con una base de 40cm y la parte de arriba me quede de 50cm, como lo puedo ir aumentando? Hi, i do not speak well english,so I want made a basket with base .40cm and finish the top with..50 cm, how I increpase?. Thanks
Translation: Cose la base plana hasta que tenga unos 39 cm y luego lleva la base hasta el costado de la cabeza de la máquina de coser para comenzar a hacer los lados rectos. siga cosiendo vueltas hasta lograr la altura deseada. Sew your flat base until it is about 39cm then bring your base right up to the side of sewing machine head to start making your straight sides. keep sewing rounds until your desired height is achieved.
Translation: Good morning, give me hints of a narrower taper, encounters difficulties. Você está tendo problemas para fazer as laterais da cesta subirem? Certifique-se de segurar a base da cesta em um ângulo de 90 graus, segurando-a para cima e para baixo. Are you having trouble making the sides of the basket go up? Be sure to hold the base of the basket at a 90-degree angle, holding it up and down.

First time viewer WOW! The "showing" detail is amazing! 👏kudos to the camera person!
I have to rewatch to actually follow the directions.🤭🙋♀️
Thanks so much. I actually do it all by myself. I have no assistance. Design, camera work, edit and publish.
Beautiful....I use glue sticks to secure the fabric strips at the beginning and end of the strips...
I decided not to show that in my videos as the glue can gum up your sewing machine and needles.
I love your baskets and ideas! Do you have a video on how to make the smaller one with the turquoise design that's to your left (our right) on the chest behind you? Thank you for these videos and inspirations!
Thanks Mary and thanks for watching! The one you see in the background is a plain basket and I just painted on a design with acrylic paints. It won’t be as washable as the other ones but you can damp wash the inside portion. But you could get fabric paints instead and then it may be washable.

I've try this craft but my sewing machine wouldn't go through the thickness properly but I might give it another go. Your baskets are so pretty ! 💁 👍 ❤ 🆒
I prefer to use 1/4 rope because it makes for a sturdier basket but maybe your machine can handle the 7/32 size of rope. Hope it will work for you.
@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts Thank you so much for your reply Patti. 👍 🌟
What type of machine are you using?
Thank you so much, Patti! I love your tutorials and have been inspired to try all sorts of things, most have turned out really well 😊
Your instructions are great, very clear and helpful. Its like you’re in the room helping me and I find myself talking to you tho!!! 😂
Can’t wait for the next project! Many thanks 🤗🧶🧵🧺👏🤩
Thanks so much for writing this positive comment. That is my goal to have classroom like tutorials so everyone can understand enough to complete the projects. You made my laugh when you said you find yourself talking to me. Love it. I thought I was hearing things but maybe not. LOL! Enjoy!

Great video, just about to start having a go at these and this has told me everything I need to know. Thank you 😀
Perfect. Glad I covered everything you need to know.
Beautiful baskets ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ and you explained so well was so nice to watch you creating those beauties 💐💐
Aahhh. Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video,
So pretty. Thank you for such clear, easy to follow instructions. I really have to try this
Please do!
I just found your channel! I am so excited to give these a try! 💜❤️💙
So glad you found me. Enjoy the videos!
You r amazing! Thank you so much for detail and all your knowledge❤️❤️❤️
Your very welcome!
i love your work
Thanks so much!
Just love your videos. The use of colour on these ones is so pretty. When you demonstrated the Fabric Rope Baskets you folded the fabric over and ironed for a smooth edge. This time, you left the edges raw. Is this just a different method or look? I am thinking I may use the folded technique, would this make the rope too thick for a finished appearance. Thank you so much for your detailed instructions.
Yes, There are no wrongs or rights. Just the look that you want. Folding over the edge of the fabric will give you a firmer basket and eliminate any frayed edges. Keep the fabric open and it is easier to wrap any gives you a more natural look. If you cut your strips on the bias then you will have less fraying.
One of your videos showed how to join the rope when you run out. I can't find which one that was. Can you tell me? TIA!!! Love your videos!
At time stamp 18:06 I show how to join rope when you are wrapping with fabric strips in this video.

Hi Patti, I love your tutorials! Thank you for sharing your talents with us! I was wondering if you have a go-to for ordering rope online in larger quantities for cheap? The sash cord in hardware stores near me is expensive and I would like to make some large baskets like some of yours.
Unfortunately I haven’t found any great sources for the laundry cord. I know. It is a bit on the expensive side. I buy mine at a local hardware store. And I add the Amazon links for rope in the description box of my videos. Well at least we can make a beautiful basket for under $20.
Love your work .
Thanks so much Sue!
So well explained ! I just have a question. At the begining, how do you measure the length of rope you need for the project ? Thank you in advance.
I make sure I have lots of rope on hand and I just keep sewing till I run out. Then I join in more rope and keep sewing.
@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts This is what I thought. Thank you !
No worries.
you made look so easy thanks
With a bit of practice it will come easy for you!
Patti, I have been watching your videos for about a week and am so inspired to try making rope baskets! Why did you hand-stitch the wavy, decorative rope instead of using your sewing machine? Thanks!!
Thanks for watching. Because I wanted a wavy design on the outside of the basket. When you sew on the machine you are sewing on the inside of the basket and it would be very difficult to sew through and actually catch the wrapped design on the outside.
Love it! I want to make theses for family gifts with our last name on them -many suggestions - stencil?
Hi Michele. I’ve been asked this a few times so maybe a good video to come on how to add embellishments and wording. I did show how to do this in a diaper cake with a rope basket. Here the link to the video: th-cam.com/video/R_ZLXeKkUlY/w-d-xo.html Just forward the video to time stamp 18:39 and I talk about lettering.
You could also use thin yarn to embroider the letters by sewing around the rounds of cord.
Love your videos, so easy to understand. My question is this, what is the difference between cutting the fabric on the bias versus cutting it on the grain? Does it make a difference in the look or durability? Thanks
Cutting fabric on the bias makes for a nice stretchy strip of fabric and makes for an easier wrap. When cutting fabric with the grain you will notice a lot of fraying on the edges. When you cut on the bias there is much less fraying and makes for a cleaner looking basket.
@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts Thank you, that helps a great deal.
Your very welcome.
Thanks for your video tutorials. I've learned a great deal. I have a question about the fabric accents that you add. You find that the edges fray or unravel a bit?
If you cut your fabric strips on the bias it won’t fray much. There are many ways to add fabric to your rope bowls. You can fold over your fabric strips so there is no raw edge showing.
@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts that makes sense. Thank you.
Glad it helped.
Stunning!! Thank you.
Thanks Lorraine!
Great Video, Thanx. What size needle do you use and what weight of thread? I assume the thread is polyester for strength. Thank you!
90/14 universal or denim needles. Yes, exactly, I do use polyester thread for the strength.
Thank you.
Very pretty baskets, TYFS 💕
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Hi I love watching your TH-cam videos. I have got a question. How do I get the ends to go straight up or at least kinda straight up. I want a 6" oval basket but would like straight sides. Thanks
Debbie
Thanks for watching! The smaller baskets are harder to get the straight sides.
This is quite often the area that a lot of sewers have a hard time with. But you will get it.
When you are ready to form your sides bring your base right up to the head of your sewing machine. Sew a couple of rounds. To aid in forming your sides you can lift the basket slightly off the bed of the machine with your left hand for a couple rounds. When you are assured that you are now forming your sides than let your basket rest on the bed of the machine again.
To continue to form straight sides make sure you are always holding your basket at a 90 degree angle to the bed of the sewing machine. Be consistent and don’t change the angle.
Continue to sew your sides holding the angle with your left hand and using your right fingers to keep the rows that you are sewing flat against the bed of the machine.
Practice makes perfect!
This is what I was looking for!!!! Thank you very much
Perfect! Glad you found me!
Hi, Do you make the base for each of these baskets at 11" ? Love your videos. I have made your smaller baskets and they are great. I want to make one as a baby gift but wasn't sure if the base was smaller on the 13" wide x 9: high. Thanks
You can make the base any size you want but it is easier to make straight sides if your base is at least as tall as your sewing machine head. I just published a video on that and it might be easier to watch then me putting it into words. Here’s the link to that video. HOW TO - CHOOSE THE RIGHT TOOLS TO MAKE YOUR ROPE BOWLS th-cam.com/video/8jrm5vwhXAc/w-d-xo.html
Hi Patti another beautiful basket video. Thank you so much. Do you think making baskets on the sewing machine is hard on them? I was just wondering if all the steady sewing would be. I love making these baskets and didn't want to wear out my machine doing it.
You might break a few needles now and then and the only thing you should do is frequently clean out the fluff it creates where the bobbin is stored. Other than that it is not hard on the sewing machine.
Have you thought or tried a miter joint for connecting your rope?
Anything is worth a try. The rope tends to fray a lot so the less surface cut I find is better. I don’t like to use glue as it gums up my needles and sewing machine but if you wanted to add the extra step you could hand sew the miter edges just enough to hold in place and then sew with machine. Many ways to achieve great results.
Great ideas
Glad your enjoying the videos. Thanks for watching.
what type of sewing needle do you use that is strong enough to sew through the rope? love your video!
I used my manual Husqvarna sewing machine.
Lindo! Obrigada por dividir ,💞

beautiful baskets!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful tutorial. Where do you buy your cotton rope - I did not see that below the video?
Hi Cindy. When I did this video there was a real shortage so didn’t want to supply a link and frustrate everyone. Supplies are better now so I have updated my video. I live in Canada so it is cheaper for me to buy the laundry sash cord from my local hardware store. But I have also bought it on Amazon. Here is an Amazon link if you live in the US for laundry cotton cord. amzn.to/3aSxNqX

Your very welcome!
What kind and size your machine needle ? Thank you for this video ❤
90/14 universal or denim needles work best
I love your baskets and tutorials! I have had an issue with my coiled rope basket bases warping or curving and not staying flat. I’m really making large base 14” to finish the sides by using crochet over piping.
Can you tell me what I’m possibly doing wrong? I’m have a feeling I am using too much tension although I don’t do it purposely. Or is it because of the stitching zig zag is too tight? I’m struggling with this since it leaves the base looking like a bowl instead of flat base. Help?
Also in order to make a rectangular or even oval shape, do you have tutorial for how to begin the bases. I’m trying today to make a larger rectangular shape by not rolling into circle rather using a u-shape on base beginning depending on finish size ultimately wanting. Does this make sense? Fingers crossed my ideas work, would love your feedback suggestions. Thank you so much!
I have many rope bowl tutorials. Each one has more tips and tricks. Try watching the first one on how to make rope bowls.
Here’s the link. th-cam.com/play/PLp6o7Vy1aS_X3YAB8rzu2g01VwfZ67gEg.html
It’s really important to have a flat surface when starting your base for your project. Let the rope fall loose and don’t pull on it when sewing the rounds and let the rope naturally pull into the precious row. The length of your zigzag should not matter. Place your left hand on top of the base while sewing to keep it flat.
Hi Patti, great tutorial....I made one but it was the rope was polyester clothes line...and it wouldnt round up it stayed flat unless I pulled it up and then it seemed floppy....do you think it was because it was all polyester and not cotton? Thank you Kathi
Polyester is very slippery and hard to work with. The cotton grabs better and much easier to sew with. A little bit of practice to form nice straight sides to make a beautiful large bin.
This looks amazing. How many needles do you break when making these baskets,,,,, do you use a heavy weight thread for like sewing denim or cordora,,,,,, and is sewing this rope hard on your domestic machine? Idk if my presser foot would raise high enough to get the rope under it,,,,, but I’m gonna be trying👍.
Hi Melissa. I’ve only broken one needle and I have sewed many many baskets and bowls. I use my all purpose needle and all purpose thread. My sewing machine is working fine after all the bowls I have made. Most presser feet will lift high enough for the cord to fit under. Give it a try for sure!
I am looking for a tutorial showing how to wrap rope around the handles of basket. Thank you.
You want to wrap rope around the rope handles? Not totally sure what you are wanting to do.
@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts There doesn't seem to be a way to send you a photo of rope wrapped handles. :(
You can send it to my email address if you like. craftypatti60@gmail.com
Great video!!!Thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you and your very welcome!
Hello. Super!!! What cord do you use ? What mm is it ?
Glad you liked the video. I like to use the 1/4” (6.35mm) as it holds its shape better than the smaller 7/32” (5.56mm) cord.
wow you are amazing. thanks for sharing.
Ahhh. Thanks so much! Thanks for watching!
Hello I have a question, I just got a new Viking machine. The head of machine is larger then my Brothers and sticks out more. Do you think that will effect basket making?
I have a Husqvarna sewing machine which I believe makes the Viking line. I’m able to make my baskets with it. Of course it is an older model so yours may stick out more. Just give it a try on some smaller baskets and see how you do.
Any advice on what kind of sewing machine will make wide enough zigzag stitches? I have a small Janome and the zigzags are too narrow to catch both sides of the rope securely. I was really looking forward to making one of these rope baskets but it’s not working.
My Phaff machine makes a real wide zigzag and my basic Husqvarna works fine too. Haven’t tried any others.
@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts thank you for the information! Might need to start shopping for a better machine so I can make some of this cool stuff. I love how clear and easy to understand your videos are.
It’s a bit tricky getting the right machine for rope bowls. Have a look at the video I published and it may give you some ideas on what to look for. th-cam.com/video/8jrm5vwhXAc/w-d-xo.html
A stiletto is handy when getting into tight spots.
Yes stilettos are great for sure.
How did you get the blue V design on the basket in the background? I love that!
That is shown in another video of mine when I was doing a diaper cake. I thought about doing a video on just how to make designs on rope bowls. Maybe I should! Here’s the link to that video and I demonstrate how to embellish rope bowls at time stamp 18:39 if you want to check it out.

I realize it is a year later, since this video was made. I am just hopping some body stumbles across this and can answer my question. I have a Singer "heavy duty" sewing machine. In all honesty it's a mid grade machine.I absolutely love it, but.... Do I need a steel , heavy duty,m500$ machine to do this?
Your work isvawdome!
With joy,
Audri
Here’s a video I published that goes over :How to choose the right tools for making rope bowls.

It might assist you on types of machines to use for sewing rope bowls.
I love this! Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas, it's greatly appreciated ❤ One question, do you by any chance sell anything you make? Again, thanks for all you do!
At this point in time I am not selling anything I make. It ends up being gifts for friends and family. I should sell it. Lol. I am flat out keeping busy with the 3 sites I maintain now. I could set up my Etsy page again but would create more work for me.
@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts Oh my goodness, you have a lot on your plate! I don't know how you manage it all. (And I thought my schedule was full 😂) Anyway, thanks for making these videos, and remember to take care of yourself 💕
Hi. Where do you purchase your cord? I use 100% cotton clothesline from Canadian Tire, and it's not as firm as what your baskets seem to be. Love making these baskets!! Yours are lovely!!
I always use 1/4” cord and that will make a firmer basket. I buy cord at my local hardware store or on Amazon. I find the Buffalo brand makes the firmest baskets. I have noticed the price has gone way up though. Here’s an Amazon link: amzn.to/3YmYv02
@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts thank you! The price is quite expensive. Cotton 7/32 in. at CTC is $9.99.. I will look at the other hardware stores around here. I have looked at Amazon before, but it only confused me as to what is the better rope. Cheers from ON!
7/32 rope is easier to find than 1/4”. I always use the 1/4” for a firmer basket.
You can look online for wholesale rope and you can also check marine stores. They sell a lot of rope.
What sewing machine needle do you use? Thanks for your lovely videos.
You can use a regular needle but if you want a bit more strength than use a leather or a jeans needle.
@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts Thanks. Finished my first basket. Missed a few spots but I went back and sewed them by hand. It came out beautiful thanks to your great tutorial. Keep them coming.
Does it matter if the rope is twisted or braided?
A braided cord is much easier to sew with because it will stay intact but a twisted cord is just twisted together so it will be hard to keep it solid and together while sewing.
@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts THANK YOU. That was my thinking but wanted to ask. Your work is beautiful
Thanks Kathy. Have fun making your rope bowls!
I am trying to make this but instead of sides coming straight up they are flaying out sloppy and messy ! Do you have any suggestions for me
When you are ready to start your straight sides. Hold the base flat against the head of your sewing machine and also lift it slightly off the bed of the sewing machine at the same time. Do this for a couple of rounds. When you see that you are forming straight sides then let it rest on the bed of the sewing machine again. While continuing to hold the base against the head of the sewing machine use your right fingers to press the rows flat on the bed of the sewing machine to get straight sides. When you have sewn a few more rounds than I use my left hand to hold it straight up while sewing the rounds and continuing to hold it flat with my right fingers on the base against the bed of the machine.
Hope that helps.
Thank you so much I pulled the one I started all out and started again and the sliders are looking much better I will post a pic when finished
So glad to hear you are getting the hang of it now. Practice makes perfect!
@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts how true
Thank you for such great instructions! You are a wonderful teacher. I have made many rope baskets, but I have not been able to achieve a straight side. They end up more like the photos you have on your rope bowl planter video. I like that look but would like to have one with straight sides. I do bring the base straight up after the base diameter is reached but I am still getting the angle. Do you have any suggestions?
When you are ready to form your sides bring your base right up to the head of your sewing machine. Sew a couple of rounds. To aid in forming your sides you can lift the basket slightly off the bed of the machine with your left hand for a couple rounds.

@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts I think what I was missing was lifting the basket slightly off the bed of the machine. I also wonder if my machine is a bit wider (from the needle to the far left of the machine head), than yours. Mine measures 2 1/4 inches. So that means that even when I try to hold the base at a 90 degree angle, it just can't be 90 degrees until it grows beyond the 2 1/4" height. Therefore, if I lift the base up off the bed to try to imitate the 90 degrees, I can now see why that is so necessary. When it gets around 2" high, then I can hold the base at 90 degrees. I probably made zero sense, but I think you helped me figure it out. Thanks so much for your response! It's late here, but I want to go practice right now! Your work is something I want to achieve at some point.
Some electronic machines have their head further in and that does make it harder. You sometimes have to scrunch the basket down to create the sides. You are definitely on the right track. Keep going!
@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts I'm so pleased! I made one exactly like I imagined. Your tips were what I needed!! It is amazing what a difference it made to just slightly lift the base. I maneuvered it so that the two rows being sewn together were flat. It seemed like the scrunching would make the sides wonky, but it worked. Thank you for taking the time to help me. I really appreciate it.
I don't know if you have seen the baskets by a company called Waterway Trading Co. They create natural baskets and also dyed ones. They add unique embellishments as well. When spring comes, I plan to dye the cord and make some that way. There are so many options. I like the way you added some color (in this video) with a bit of fabric but left most of it natural. 🌺
Im so glad I was able to help you and you stuck with it and now have success. There are indeed so many ways to embellish. I have made lots of videos on that. Not sure how many of my videos you have watched. I showed how to dye the rope as well. Adding fabric of course or adding tassels or any embellishments. So many options indeed. Ou can do stencilling and machine embroidery on them as well. It’s endless for sure.
I’m using KingCord cotton 1/4” sash cord, and for some reason one package will have only cotton core and the next package will have a polyester core, same barcode, and no mention of a polyester core on the packaging in fact it says 100% cotton, anyways, I find that the one with the polyester fiber core is so much easier to shape and form and it’s far stiffer than the non polyester core, even with identical packaging you can actually see a difference in color, the one with poly is natural and the one without poly is bleached
That would be frustrating that the same product is a different dye lot.
A lot of the sash cord that says 100% cotton will still have a polyester core. Just the outer layer is cotton.

Cose la base plana hasta que tenga unos 39 cm y luego lleva la base hasta el costado de la cabeza de la máquina de coser para comenzar a hacer los lados rectos. siga cosiendo vueltas hasta lograr la altura deseada.
Sew your flat base until it is about 39cm then bring your base right up to the side of sewing machine head to start making your straight sides. keep sewing rounds until your desired height is achieved.
