Make a Handy Whatnot Bowl from Scraps

It’s Perfect for the Sewing Room!
Put scraps to good use in this charming scrappy bowl. It’s great for the sewing room, especially with its cute attached pin cushion.
Wrap narrow strips around cotton clothesline rope, then coil and sew to create the bowl. It’s easy enough even a beginner can do it.
In fact, you may find yourself making more than one of this fun project. The bowl makes a great gift for a quilting or sewing friend. Plus, you can adjust the size and shape however you want.
The finished bowl, designed by Chris Malone, is 8″ x 10 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ without handles.
You’ll find the pattern for the “Scrappy Quilter’s Bowl” in Quilts You Can Make in an Afternoon.
