I had a hard time finding affordable clothesline, and I ended up buying some 3/8 inch twisted cord at JoAnn's for more than I wanted to spend, even at 50% off. When I was first getting started, I had my doubts that the cord would fit under the foot on my machine, and then I had tension issues. But once I got a good start it was really pretty easy. I love these, even with the wonky spots. The third bowl is by far the best. I want to make more, but I blew through almost 14 yards of the cord and I will look for something cheaper to use next time.
I have a need for some quick handmade items (school auction season is upon us and I must turn in seven items!), and two bowls fit the bill. I figure I get to keep one of them, I'm sure I can think of something to put in it...
Only another five auction items to make...
