About this Product
This Shabby Chic Bohemian Bag was woven on my antique barn loom. It is an eye-catcher. Its large capacity has plenty of space for multiple towels, books, etc. and it has a zip pocket for valuables plus a keyring to attach your keys. The fabrics used to create this tote came from a variety of recycled clothing and bed linens (which makes this tote unique) that have been cut or torn into strips for weaving. The colors are teals, blues and greens
This durable tote is 23” (seam to seam) x 16” high x 4.5” deep ( bottom dimensions 19”x4.5”) and it has a zippered inside pocket (10x9) to carry a phone and small objects. The 2” black polypro handles are sturdy and flexible and just the right length to carry or throw over your shoulder (10” drop from the top of the tote).
This extra large tote has many useful purposes:
Diaper Bag
Beach bag
Overnight bag
Grocery tote
Laundry tote
General carryall
Sports Bag
Give as a baby shower gift filled with goodies for the baby. It makes a great bag for the mother to take to the hospital. Give as a wedding shower gift filled with goodies. Also makes a great gift for college students.
Each tote is made to have its own personality, from sophisticated to whimsical.
My creative process is based on using salvaged materials for the most part (what most consider trash) which makes this tote unique and one-of-a-kind.

Meet the Maker
I have always enjoyed color and creating art. I started with drawing and painting, cake decorating and flower arranging. After working in these mediums, I discovered fiber and weaving, about 30 years ago. My first and favorite loom is an antique barn loom that I acquired from friends. It is a handmade loom that weaves wonderful fabric. This loom dates back to the late 1800s. One loom is never enough! Now, I also have three 4 harness looms, a Lillstina, Gallinger and a Sabina floor loom. Then I added two small rigid heddle looms which I use to sample and weave scarves. Just recently, my husband made a triangle loom. I love the scarves that can be made on this loom.
I truly love the fact that my rugs and totes are made from linens and clothing that are headed to the landfill. These fabrics are washed then cut into strips and either sewn or interlocked to create the weft for my rugs. This process makes each rug unique.
My scarves are woven with quality fibers and fabric. My favorite style of scarf weaving is the Saori, which is a freeform weaving. These a wonderful way to achieve beautiful color combinations.
Since my work is not mass-produced, I attract people who understand and appreciate the value of handcrafted fabric.
