I was a stay at home mom with 4 boys. I still have some of them that I made back then. I even redid some with different fabrics. When I made them the first time I even surged the edges of the fabrics so they wouldn't ravel too much. I even have a Christmas one that I still use. I was them in my washer as well.

Love what you created. There are so many wonderful tutorials on rope baskets on the web. The big box hardware stores carry large (200 ft) packages of cotton rope also for a very reasonable price. Keep being creative.
