Fabric & cord

That was all we needed on Saturday to make some really pretty & functional bowls.

We started by cutting long strips of fabric about 1" wide and wrapping them around piping cord.

Then it was time to make a little coil to start the whole thing off

Adding more fabric strips as we went along

Then it was time to tip the flat 'mat' up and keep sewing.................

And as if by magic the bowl begins to take shape

and then Tah dah! a finished bowl just crying out to be filled with lemons, ready for your G&T!

Not all the bowls were finished by the end of the day, but the ladies didn't have far to go.....

Aren't they all going to be great?

This morning I had a play with some coloured string and whilst it was extremely time consuming it works pretty well.
