Join us for a fun, creative, and beginner-friendly sewing workshop where you’ll learn how to turn simple cotton clothesline rope into a beautiful, functional trivet! In this hands-on class, you’ll discover the techniques behind coiled-rope construction—how to form, shape, and securely stitch a rope base using a standard sewing machine.
Once your trivet is built, we’ll take it to the next level with machine embroidery embellishment. Explore how to stabilize your project, choose suitable designs, and add decorative stitching that transforms your trivet into a custom piece of art.

What you’ll learn:

• How to prepare and coil rope clothesline for sewing

• Zig-zag techniques for rope bowls and trivets

• Tips for shaping and keeping your project flat

• How to safely embroider on rope surfaces

• Choosing threads, needles, stabilizers, and designs that work best

• Finishing touches to make your trivet durable and beautiful

Perfect for: Confident beginners and intermediate sewists who want to try a new technique, add texture to their sewing projects, or create handmade gifts.

You’ll leave class with a completed rope trivet and the skills to make many more at home!
