It's a Wrap
Tired of following patterns and using templates when it comes to your sewing? Then you’re going to adore this collection of colorful three-dimensional baskets, bowls, purses, and plates. The latest trend in dimensional sewing, wrapping is easy to learn. Basically, all you have to do is wrap ordinary clothesline with strips of fabric and then sew these cords together with a basic zigzag stitch. It’s fast, fun, and a great way to use up all those leftover fabric scraps. Best of all, there are no patterns or confusing measurements to deal with. You’ll find 40 beautiful and practical projects. Start off with a basic bowl or a plate—there are round, oval, and square designs—then add lids, handles, and embellishments such as pretty flower appliqués. There’s no limit to what you can do. The techniques are covered in detail and every project features simple-to-follow, step-by-step instructions with how-to photos. Softcover, 80 pages, color photos

I got the book for a gift. While looking through it, I want to get one for myself. This looks like a fun project and easy to do.

Lots of Ideas

I actually learned this technique in a quilters group and then purchased the book afterward. Lots of great color photos to get your creative ideas flowing. I've made three purses and several bowls and placemats so far. Nice way to make a customized one-of-a-kind gift for the women you love.

I looked through the book when I recieved it and was very excited to try some projects. Great ideas for some cute things and got my imagination going to create some of my own designs too. Can't wait to start!!

I will admit I was a bit leary of this book, but curious as I had some cording (not clotheseline) on hand and I was seeking information on how to wrap cording. I figured the same techniques should apply. "It's a Wrap" was way more than I expected! It was colorful with great ideas. Though the recommended clothesline is the better product, Susan Brier's ideas sparked my own creative juices. This is a great buy!
