デニス・ハー作 クリエイティブジグザグロープソーイングプロジェクトブック

The instructions for the lidded vessels are so clear and well-photographed, I finished one in an afternoon. My sewing machine handled the thick zigzag rope just fine, and the finished piece looks like something from a boutique.

Finally, a guide that goes beyond basic bowls—the bag patterns are surprisingly elegant and the instructions for shaping the sides are crystal clear. My first lidded vessel came out perfectly symmetrical, which I never managed before.

The lidded vessel patterns alone are worth the price—I finally got the curves to hold their shape after the second try. Denise’s approach to the zigzag technique clicked for me in a way other books never did, and the bag section is a bonus I didn't expect to enjoy this much.
