The next stitch will form a tube from the rectangle. This stitch should be made while the tube is inside out, so make sure the roped hem is positioned as you want it before starting. Pin the two edges of the rectangle together and make a stitch along the entire length of the edges about 5/8" from the edge. This should complete the tube. Once the tube has been stitched, tie the two ends of the rope together (use a fisherman's knot as illustrated in the [[../../Recreation/Knot Tying|Knot Tying]] honor). You should be able to cinch up the rope and cloth the opening of the laundry bag. This bag will also be carried by the rope.
