Tee-Shirt Bag

This bag I made from my LB's old tee shirt and my new sewing machine!

Food and Plurk Podcaster Challenge

Oh yeah, Chorizo, Pasta-Roni, and peas!! 

This is the current progress!!

Done: Red/Purple Felted Bag

So my failed attempt at a spinning wheel bag has become a nice fuzzy felted bag. I will find something to put in it.

The red yarn is wool that was my hand spun and the purple is Scappa Scottish wool.

A lot of hot water and a pet slicker brush later...

I love the bottom of this bag!

WIP: Teal Bag

So this is from my hand spun teal wool!

WIP: Bag

This bag has taken on a life of its own... I am now doing circular sides. Yea, I am crazy. Thankfully I wrote down what I did so I can make the other piece...

It is like doing a sewing pattern where I have to make the fabric myself.

Done: Plarn Shopping Bag

And, here it is in its glory! There is an olive oil bottle sitting in the bottom of it to allow it to "remember" the shape since I don't want to try to see what happens if I was to block this the normal way. It has a nice closure that is a bit fun.

This is the front and top views. 

Side and bottom views.

The next post will have it done but I have been slow on adding the WIP photos. So here it is still not done!

You see, I didn't go across the rows at the bottom. At this point I was like uh oh. But I folded the piece in half and managed to salvage the project! This is why I do WIP photos, for those who get discouraged with a little hiccup.

WIP: Plarn Shopping bag

A shopping bag made of... shopping bags!

The different stages of the plarn process!

Poor Beginnings

I messed up the bag I have been making 3 times. This is the 1st attempt.

WIP: Bag and Scarf of Doom

I have now merged the scarf of doom with the bottom of the bag attempt 3 and blocked it so it lays flat.

WIP: Bag

I started this bag as a circular base but now I have changed my mind. I will may this the base and coil it round then I have a fun stitch to make for the sides. It is the single crochet through the back loops, making ridges horizontally along the fabric. Why I am doing this is the stretchiness of the fabric it makes. My bag will become my crocheting bag.

Remember this yarn?
