Description

Here is my tote bag. This was my first weaving project - I made it during Christmas break two years ago. One of my friends had a woven bag from Ecuador which I used as my inspiration.

Materials

Yarn and string

Credits

I found a tutorial online on how to do simple weaving and my dad helped me build my loom.

The bag is made of 4 pieces.

One large piece that makes up the front, back and flap. Then there is the strap and 2 small pieces for sides.
I used a crochet hock to connect them all together.

    dressing the greater RVA area!

    you are definitely an inspiration, i think it's amazing that you did the weaving yourself and made your own loom. i can only hope to be so self sufficient!

    taking a short break from jackets

    I went to South America last year and saw a bunch of bags like that-- didn't manage to snag one for myself, but I really liked the look. You definitely got the look of that, and I love that you wove it yourself!
