A bowline is a rope tied to its own standing part with a sheet bend.
Likewise, the prussik comes almost free with the cow hitch -- a
prussik is turned two or more times around the rope, a cow hitch only
once.
And the taut-line hitch comes free with the prussik -- you pass twine
around a chair leg or whatever anchor is convenient, tie it to itself
with a prussik, and you can lengthen or shorten the tether on your
sewing bird to keep a comfortable tension on your fabric.

(in the picture, the bird is
anchored with two half hitches and tension is adjusted by moving the
chair.)
As taught to me, the taut-line hitch was intended to fasten a rope to
a tent peg. That situation doesn't come up very often.
