I recently started a Modern Quilt Guild in town- Gainesville Modern Quilters and yesterday we had our first FREE member-taught workshop! I love the idea of having members of the guild teach each other without anyone having to pay for anything. We are a super laid-back guild with no executive board, no dues, etc.
Two of our members taught us how to make fabric bowls yesterday afternoon and let me tell you….. these suckers are addictive!!
….and yes, I have added this to my list of video tutorials to do. I have a few other things on my plate right now but I’ll get to it as soon as I can.…. wait no more, the video tutorial is live HERE.
You only need a few supplies and a sewing machine that can handle sewing through the bulk. This is also a great recycling/environmentally friendly project because its perfect for scraps! Depending on the width of the cotton clothesline or filler cord you use you can use strips up fabric as thin as 1/2″ wide! Don’t throw those scraps away, people!
This is the sample bowl I made at the workshop. I chose to go with an oblong shape instead of a circle. Turns out it’s even easier (and quicker) to start than the circle ones. It turned out ok. I made it out of only one fabric… some random remnant I had in my stash. After getting the technique down I went home and made this baby…

I only have heard positive things about these bowls. I was at my LQS and a women brought six bundles of the cord, made Halloween bowls for people.

These look totally awesome. I have ALWAYS wondered how to make them. To me, they have always looked like some super old fashioned thing that maybe the pioneers made. I look forward to learning how to make them. I hope that they are really as easy as you thought that they were. I usually end up teaching my church ladies various projects and things and I know that they would LOVE to learn this. Thanks for everything. You are the BEST !

That looks a lot like braided rugs. I bet you could use the same idea and make a rug. Will be watching for the tutorial 😀
