sew a saori hand woven bag , Learn to spin on a spindle and wheel, and learn to wind a Saori warp

It all started last year when Antoinette  fell in love with the Saori bag I wove and sewed.. so she wove some fabric and washed it and brought it to a class to sew a saori bag too

 I  have these great leather  

purse straps in my Etsy shop here that I use on all my saori bags.

 stiff interfacing is difficult  to turn right side out!

  but so worth the effort!

  very cute bag!!!
