  
 Learn how to make fantastic fabric bowls by zigzagging coils of clothesline wrapped with scraps (or "real" fabric) in this full-day workshop based on the techniques presented in Susan Brier's book, It's A Wrap. These fabric bowls are 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 project as you'll be able to work at your own pace throughout the day.
