Tutorial: Scrap fabric rope
Whether it’s a fabric in an unfortunate print, or an old sheet, or even old clothes, you can turn it into pretty and useful rope. Yellow Spool shares a tutorial showing how, with no sewing required. You’ll need to cut the fabric into strips, so longer scraps are better for this project.

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.

I cannot open the link for the tutorial “Scrap Fabric Rope.” Any suggestions?
