What is a patchwork rope bowl?
It’s a fabric bowl built from a patchwork panel and cotton rope. You sew the squares together, attach them to a base, and stitch the rope around the sides to form the bowl.
Do I need an embroidery machine?
No. This pattern is cut and sewn by hand and on a regular sewing machine. Printable PDF base cut patterns are included for the round and oval bases.
What sizes are available?
Five sizes in both round and oval shapes, from Extra Small to Extra Large. Each size has its own cutting chart and patchwork layout.
How big will my finished bowl be?
The finished size depends on the base size you choose. The cutting charts list the square and interfacing sizes for each option.
Can I sell the bowls I make?
Yes! You can sell up to 500!
