Book Review – Zigzag Rope Sewing Projects

July 25, 2023 by Shellie Wilson

As someone who is always on the lookout for new and creative ways to craft, I was thrilled to discover Zigzag Rope Sewing Projects. This comprehensive guide provides clear instructions, helpful tips, and lots of inspiration for all levels of sewers, from beginners to advanced.

Author Katherine Lile, the owner of The Mountain Thread Company, is a fourth-generation quilter who brings her expertise and infectious enthusiasm to the craft of rope sewing. With her step-by-step instructions and coordinating photography, I felt confident in my ability to create the projects in the book. And with the expert tips and finishing ideas, I was able to add my own personal touch to each project and make them truly unique.

With 16 projects to choose from, including durable and decorative bags, baskets, coasters, and other accessories and home décor items, there is something for everyone. The introductory sections on materials, supplies, techniques, stitching tips, and advanced shaping techniques were especially helpful, providing a solid foundation to build upon.

As I worked my way through the book, I found myself drawn in by the excitement of this new craft. I was amazed at how easy it was to coil rope and join it together using a simple zigzag stitch. I loved the versatility of the projects and the endless possibilities for design, from painting and fabric wrapping to dying and adding handles.

If you’re looking for a fun and easy craft to try, look no further than Zigzag Rope Sewing Projects. Katherine brings her expertise, wit, and contagious enthusiasm to life in this complete guide to all things rope.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
