I made another bag from fabric I wove! Came off the loom Saturday morning.
I ran out of Weft color 3 times before I got to the end of the Warp. The color breaks helped decide the design. (I DIDN’T have a plan!) As I added the finishing touches to the bag I realized it was pretty “fraking” big. So in honor of the Ravelympics & Battlestar Galactica - I’ve named it the Olympic Carrier :)
Cutting this time wasn’t so scary - in fact I wove it with the express intention of cutting immediately. Ran out of yarn I was using for the weft and there wasn’t a skein to be found at any of the stores around here. I wasn’t thrilled with the red/grey color at first, so I just wanted to get it off the loom. Grabbed the Debbie Mumm brand; a little thicker weight, deeper red and it has sparkle shots throughout. Was not crazy about that either. By using that on the sides & handles of the bag as contrast, it didn’t seem so bad when I was done.
After thought bag flap done in Warp color just so I could finish the skein and the warp that was at the end of the loom.
It’s a little big…already planning the next project so I can cut it up. Maybe down size the Design-As-I-Go method for a smaller scale bag next time!
