Learn how to make fantastic fabric bowls by zigzagging coils of clothesline wrapped with scraps (or "real" fabric) in this full-day workshop. They're fast and fun, and they look spectacular! You'll learn a quick way to slice bias fabric with your rotary cutter, how to wrap and glue the fabric in place, and how to stitch the fabric/clothesline coil. You'll experiment by making a small bowl. Over-achievers will be able to make more than one bowl as you'll be able to work at your own pace throughout the day. Finish your bowl with a plain or crocheted rim.

Let Ami know if that is all you have and she may be able to bring narrower gauge clothesline. These are only available in shorter 50-foot lengths (smaller bowls). She just found this type of clothesline and hasn't tested it in any workshops yet. Thread that compliments your fabric choices.
