“Thank you so much for taking part in this course and I hope you've enjoyed it. It's now time to work on your project. This could mean finishing the basket you started by completing the course tasks or making a brand-new project! Either way, I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique project of your own. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It'd be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way and tell us if you have any doubts. This will help me guide you better if you need advice. Here are some final tips to guide you on your journey: The Design Plan Create your design plan. Include colours, the shape, and the number of materials. Sewing Preparation Fill up your bobbins and measure out your rope. Using pins, mark the points you want to incorporate the block stitch and check your needle is sharp. Start Stitching! Stitch your flat spiral to the size you decided on in your design plan.

The Basket Shape Build your 3D shape. Remember to add the block stitch sections when you reach your marker pins. When you reach the end of your rope, finish your work with your desired technique. And that's all! I can't wait to see what you've come up with. You can share your work with us so by clicking on 'Create your project'. Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you showed a picture of each step and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. I will be more than happy to answer any of the questions you might have along the way! I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, participate in the forum, comment on others' work, and interact with the community. See you there! ”
