Rope sewing is fun, inexpensive, and addictive. It allows your creative juices to flow as you design a useful, yet beautiful piece of art. These pieces are typical bowls, mug rugs, placemats, hot pads, baskets, or purses. They can enhance your sewing studio or your home - and make wonderful gifts. You will make a minimum of a 4 piece mug rug set and at least one bowl...and probably much more during class. In addition, for embroidery machine owners, it is simple to enhance your project by including embroidery to the design. So, bring your embroidery machine and play. The possibilities are endless.
