Handles and Things
I had the coolest grocery bag at the store today!
Yesterday I went on a search for appropriate handle material. I’m very pleased with the webbing that I found at Fabricland, but it was pretty expensive. I needed 2.5 meters of webbing, to circle the mouth of the bag and add structural support, and to allow for some generous handles.
I’m not sure if this bag is finished or if it is a work in progress still. The fabric is soft, and probably not the best match for a bag–it’s definitely not a rugged carry-all kind of a bag unless I line it with something durable. I tried to carry books and groceries and things, and I’m noticing that the weave is loose, and objects begin to poke through the fabric, distorting the pattern and stretching the yarn. I am not very accomplished at the sewing machine, but for this bag I may dare to learn!
I am imagining bringing this bag to the beach, full of towels and sunscreen. I got so excited about the beach, and feeling so tropical that I had to buy myself a pineapple! Yummy pineapple….
