I have to go to town today and I'm hitting Walmart to buy the 3/16x100 ft of 100% cotton diamon braided cord. Sounds like a deal to me. I've never worked with any clothes line for any project, but I've always wanted to make a basket. Today sounds like a good day to start. I need to find a "free" pattern online or on this site. Anyone know of any? Seems like I saw one here a while back. How would I find it again?

Thought the name was familiar. That is the rug I took a class for, the thing with it is that the clothesline was so thick, it made it very difficult to sew in the end. Especially when it came time to do the binding. Also, I see on another site they have a pattern for a knotty basket, it is made with stips of craf tex? Has anyone done one with this stripping. They are cute, too.

You should be able to find Auntie's Two patterns at your LQS. One pattern that traces you to use your leftover batting in place of clothesline is the Bailey Island Hobo Bag.
