So what do you do with all the small pieces of handwoven fabric from sampling and weaving off a warp? Small bags with and without a strap are one possibility.
With pockets
Beaded
Antique button closure
Simple, but elegant
The possibilities are endless.
Happy Holidays to all, and may your New Year be filled with many fiber related projects.
I love the pattern and the strap on the very first one–did you weave the strap, too??

Kerry, The strap was a piece of Guatemalan braid I bought from a weaver downsizing her collection of Guatemalan textiles. It just seemed to go perfectly with my Handweaving.

I like your idea! I do have lots of samples and scraps, but haven’t come up with a satisfactory use for all of them. In the back of my mind, I envision something like your bags, or a journal cover…Food for thought over a cup of hot cocoa.

Jean, Yes we need to find uses for those extra bits. Hot cocoa sounds good.

The fabric on that first bag is very cool! What kind of weave is it?

Katy, Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. The fabric had the warp threaded for a rep weave design. In rep though you have a thick weft followed by a thin weft tread led in opposites. This piece though did not have the thin wefts only thick wefts resulting in the large areas of floating warp yarns.
