I wove three different variations using the same warp and treadling but with different weft colors. This is just one of them, but I haven't sewn the other two yet.

I threaded for straight twill and treadling a twill variation. The warp yarns alternate following this color sequence: Red, Yellow, Pink, Orange, Yellow, Pink. I dented the 10/2 cottons together and the 5/2 cottons singley using my 15 dent reed. (only one I have currently.) Thiscreated a sett of 22.5 and a width of aprox. 22 inches.

I especially love the bag strap. It is not hand woven, but I used a machine embroidery stitch to try to tie the bag colors to the strap. I really like how it turned out!!

I agree with you!  I like how the straps turned out and complement the weaving.
