I think turning them on the inside would make a lot of bulk. These things- not so easy to sew. I have a lot of respect for those crafters who turn them out by the carloads.<br />You are right abouyt the health. Now that I have lousy back problems, I take each day by it's pain level. Good days are when I can roll over in bed without cringing.<br /><br />KimmenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-35144961683503672572010-04-06T17:22:13.177-04:002010-04-06T17:22:13.177-04:00I like the fringe, but I'd like to see some br...I like the fringe, but I'd like to see some braided straps coming from the fringed ends, maybe even tied on in little bows.ethelmaepotter!https://www.blogger.com/profile/10626030604752269356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-14368999145687303082010-04-06T17:13:13.087-04:002010-04-06T17:13:13.087-04:00Your bag is really cute!

LOL <br /><br />Another idea.. on a plain white rug, perhaps a chenille bedspread or a white looper rug, you could lay in short strips of color pieces like that? perhaps even twist them around a warp thread or two, shaped like the Cancer awareness ribbon motif? Might make an interesting rug... How about 2 pieces twisted together like a bow tie or butterfly-- yah a Butterfly Rug?KarenInTheWoodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05884478307015605168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-89530441564501276802010-04-06T11:41:09.462-04:002010-04-06T11:41:09.462-04:00What beautiful colors!

I do like the fringe and maybe a blue jean pocket on both sides would break up some of the color. Just a suggestion. I love to see your work and you inspire many of us weavers who everday want to find a product that others want to buy.<br /><br />SherryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-7975404476656919002010-04-06T10:25:43.688-04:002010-04-06T10:25:43.688-04:00I've been bag making for a few days now and I ...I've been bag making for a few days now and I can commiserate with you, Kate Spade, Coach and others. How they put them together and all is somewhat an artform. I personally don't like the fringe edge, if you have a serger it could cut down on the bulk when turning them inside out. You could also make them clutch style and add some purse hardware, sort of like the envelope purses that are very popular. I don't really know how intricate you'd want to get but I think the material would be great for some of those.DEEP END OF THE LOOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01010018190905285835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-70542632414491049762010-04-05T22:58:20.202-04:002010-04-05T22:58:20.202-04:00Hi Hilary!

Not sure exactly how it would all work on the bottom of the bag where the two edges meet, but maybe a little bit of handstitching and you would have a gusset?

I guess I'd say the bags are interesting enough with all the color movement and that fringe completes with that - my 2 cents.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06432035940956042729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-35861651930783567912010-04-05T20:54:43.345-04:002010-04-05T20:54:43.345-04:00I thought of seat pads........braiding would mean ...I thought of seat pads........braiding would mean sewing.....ack!Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02528439226293446420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-61828880659966675952010-04-05T20:52:43.537-04:002010-04-05T20:52:43.537-04:00I think they would make a great trivet, or seat co...I think they would make a great trivet, or seat cover, or how about braiding them to make a braided rug.
