Obsession

Have you seen this new technique? I'm officially OBSESSED! My Sister-in-law's Mother was describing to me how she made this sickeningly awesome bag. She has made huge baskets with this technique as well.  I want to marry this bag! 
I'm going to figure this out, and then I'll post a tutorial.

    It is gorgeous. I had a great aunt who used to do that and I am sorry that I didn't pay closer attention to how it was done. I'll look forward to the tutorial.

    There is a book out there that explains the technique. Basically you cut strips of fabric about 3/4 to 1 inch wide...wrap around cotton clothesline and then use a zig zag stitch to sew it together...

    The book is called "It's a Wrap" and you can see it here..
