Construct creative rope baskets using your sewing machine, and then embroider the base with a sewing-themed embroidery design from Embroidery Library/Urban Threads! Plus, add more embellishments, such as decorative and functional handles, to further personalize the basket and add designer touches. This kit includes enough materials to make approximately two "basic" embroidered rope baskets, depending on size and chosen embellishments. (One basket takes about 50' to 80' of rope, depending on size; this kit contains 100' of rope.)
You need either a 4x4 or 6x10 hoop, depending on desired basket size, for this project. The exclusive Vibrant Notions Wreath, from Embroidery Library, is included with purchase of the Embroidery Sewing Session: Creative Rope Baskets; the design does NOT come with purchase of the kit.
