Have you ever wondered how to make a rope basket with your sewing machine? Then this workshop is for you! Join Silvia for a fun, hands-on session where you’ll learn how to turn cotton rope into mini baskets, bread baskets, coasters and more. Silvia will rope you into the simple steps it takes to create wonderful items for your home, sewing room or to use as handmade gifts. You can decide how big or small a basket or coaster you make.
