My coiled rope bag .... er, dolls bed!

Well I said in the Good Morning thread that I was going to try a rope bag today. Hmm, didn’t quite work out like that, because for some reason it was going rather wavy along the sides, making it tricky to keep sewing more rounds. So I cut the rope, finished it off and gave up.

Then I looked at it and thought, “hang on, I know what I can do with this!” An hour later I have a little bed for one of my granddaughter’s dolls, complete with mattress, blanket, quilt and pillow! Mind you, knowing her it’ll end up as a bed for a dinosaur or a dragon :rofl:

Well the best laid plans that go awry, usually turn out the best! Love this…and I’m sure the dragon or dinosaur will too! :joy:

Thanks Pixie. At least the project didn’t go to waste - I hate it when that happens! I think the problem was the rope I was using, a soft 100% cotton macrame cord. I’m going too have another go at a bag, but this time with sash cord, which always seems to behave better.

That is absolutely brilliant. Your granddaughter will love it I am sure.
