Oy Vey....Enough Plaid Already!!!
Yes, I did! I wove a tote using bands of plaid fabric! My niece's husband, who's from Scotland, assures me that plaids never clash....I figure he knows what he's talking about!
I finished up the two mixed fabric totes, and I just wanted to get a few more woven. I have some more fabric pulled, but I haven't made up my mind yet for the next set.
It's way too easy when these balls of plaid are just waiting to be used. I really lucked up when I got these. And, this is what I have left to use....that's a few more tote bags, I think.
After using this plaid in the mixed plaid warp, I liked the way it worked up so much that I did a whole tote with it!!!
There are now seven totes on the cloth beam, and I'm ready to take those off the loom. The handles build up at the side, and I don't want them to start to tangle.
But, before they go, I wanted to do a quick rug for my bathroom. After reading about Tina's rug yesterday, I was inspired to weave a rug for ME! You just have to mix it up sometimes and do something different. I love rag rugs!!!! I love the way they look, I love the way they feel under your bare feet, and I love to weave them! It's a win-win deal!
Today is a super busy day....I've got work to do and I must be at the post office before noon. I hope you have a lovely Fall day....and maybe you'll get some weaving done, too!
Happy Weaving!

You have been a very productive little weaver. How many totes have you got woven and ready to sew?
ReplyDeleteI love the plaids!
That is just amazing how great the plaids look. Those totes will go fast. I am glad you get time to make something for yourself!
ReplyDeleteI like the plaids, too. I bet they're fun to watch build patterns.
