When my intangible work takes up most of my time, I really find myself craving the tangible. So, this past year, when I didn't have much time to sew, I found a project that I could do a little bit at a time - while watching the kids or watching TV. I had a couple of sheets that were the big kid's that had seen better days. They were ripped and faded but I didn't want to throw them away. In the condition they were in they were not suitable for giving away, nor were they suitable for making into clothes or quilts. So, I decided to make twine.
Winding the twine is kind of meditative and satisfies my need to be doing something productive even if I don't have time to sit in front of the sewing machine. And it is easy to do a little at a time. I don't quite know what I will do with the twine when I finish - perhaps crochet it up into a basket, like this one?
This website had my favorite tutorial for making fabric twine, in case you want to make some too.
