Jump on the Rope Basket trend! This on-demand virtual Session is available on-demand to watch and re-watch at any time.
Rope baskets are back and better than ever! Learn the best construction method and how to embroider directly onto the rope base to create a fun & functional basket for your office, sewing room & more. Plus, you'll learn how to add designer touches, such as different handles, fabric strips & inserts, a sturdy base (with or without feet) & finishing flourishes.
The featured sewing-themed design, Vibrant Notions Wreath shown above, is FREE for all Session registrants, courtesy of Embroidery Library & Urban Threads! This design comes in two sizes (for a 4x4 and 6x10 hoop), and you can create loads of different basket sizes using these designs.
Whether you've made a rope basket in the past or are new to this type of project, you'll learn something new! Not only will you learn the basic rope basket construction, but also loads of optional techniques to take your basket to the next level.
Add Sulky Felty, faux leather or cork fabric accents, different types of handles and a personalized label. Incorporate hardware to add style & flair. Add a sturdy base to protect the basket and conceal the embroidery, and much, much more!
(Note: The Crafty Notions Label design shown above and Wild Charms Tall Daisy Border design shown below are NOT included with the Session.)
You'll also learn how to make embroidered placemats, table toppers and coasters using rope, too!
This Embroidery Session includes six Lessons, with multiple sections within each Lesson to navigate through at your own pace. With 11 video tutorials and extra instructions within each Lesson taking you through the steps, you'll feel confident at the sewing machine no matter your skill level.

NOTE: A 4x4 hoop is needed for the small and a 6x10 hoop is needed for the large Vibrant Notions Wreath design file. The design is embroidered directly onto the rope basket base; however, instructions are also included for embroidering the design onto fabric instead.
No embroidery machine? No problem! If you don't have an embroidery machine, you can still learn how to sew a rope basket and embellish with different handles and fabric embellishments! The included video tutorials take you through each option step-by-step with clear and thorough instruction.
