Periwinkle Pinwoven Bag Completed

This was a fun project. I got to play with color and texture freely. I used some of the wool fibers that Summerset gave me, flosses, sparkly threads, ribbons, bias strips, etc. to do the weaving. Then I topped it off with additional embroidery.

The lining and some of the bias strips are a thick neon green textured poly. It had some good heft so I didn't interface the lining, which I almost always do. I detest thin linings.  One thing not evident here is that I pick stitched around the top edge to keep the lining inside and also stitched in the ditch the lining and bag at the side seams. I like how that keeps the lining from bagging up.

Here are some closeups of the weaving:

You can see the tab is all piped. What looks like a little stick in the center is just the way this sliver type thread caught the flash.

More light blue sparkly thread, fat yellow french knots, squooshed organdy ribbon, rattail  as you read this down. The edges of the wavy panel are piped too. It looks kind of cockeyed in the picture with the way the wavy panel is but IRL it looks fine.
This was a great interlude after concentrating on the CJ muslin jacket. I have a little dress cut out and next in the cue. That means I am in need of another hand project, maybe some simple smocked tops for Carly and Sophie, gotta think about that........Bunny
