Do you have a lot of long skinny scraps? A wonderful way to use them is to make a scrappy rope basket.

The construction process is quite simple. Wind thin strips of fabric around rope, then coil the rope into a basket shape while sewing the rows together with a wide zigzag stitch.

In the process, you can form whatever basket shape you want, add handles (or not) and create any size. Plus, you can play with color and create stripes and more.

There are many examples of baskets made using this method and several tutorials available (see examples here). Sara from Radiant Home Studio has done an excellent job of sorting through tutorials and included the ones she found most useful in the following article.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
