Wrap, Wind and sew fabric strips into fantastic containers! Start with a plate shape to learn the technique. Then experiment with four basic container styles to create round, oval, square, and other shapes.

  • Create purses, baskets, and bowls in an endless variety of sizes, shapes, and colors
  • Simply wrap fabric strips around cotton clothesline, coil into the desired shape, and secure with machine stitching
  • Special sections on lids, handles, and embellishments offer unlimited options for your own variations.

You won't be able to "contain" your creativity!

instruction page examplesAbout the Author

After years of juggling family life and working outside of the home, early retirement finally arrived for Susan Breier. The hectic pace was over. She had what many people dream of—leisure time. However, she had been busy for so many years that it felt unnatural to have so much free time. She couldn't settle into a life of retirement.

Feeling the need to take on a new challenge, she did an assessment of her skills. Sewing was at the top of the list. Sewing and crafting had been her interest from childhood. Now was the time to jump-start a sewing hobby.

Her sister-in-law, Jean Rotenbach, had quilted for yeas and had done some remarkable work. After seeing Jean's finished articles, Susan caught the quilting bug!

Susan's renewed interest in sewing led her to join Lakeside Quilters in Oskoh and the Dartin Needles in Appleton, Wisconsin. She has since become a member of the American Quilting Society as well.

Making projects from fabric-wrapped clothesline started out as a quick break from sewing wall hangings, but finished a project in less time and had a great deal of fun!

Sharing her ideas in this book and teaching her method of wrapping and coiling clothesline has definitely filled her time. Susan feels rewarded knowing that in some small way she is touching the lives of many people, hopefully giving them the spark to try something new.

By teaching, doing some vending, and going to guild meetings and quilt shows, Susan has gained a new insight about life. She has seen women from all walks of life coming together with a common bond. No matter their age or status, they are all in the same room at the same time, sharing something that they love—sewing.
