The Recycle Adventure Continues

So - I finally got around to wet finishing the fabric. I keep procrastinating on digging out my old Singer Featherweight sewing machine and stitching up the finished project. In the meantime I took a break from bags and worked on some scarves. The one pictured here is a warp of viscose yarn and a weft of mercerized cotton in a 3/1 twill.

Since my friends are keeping me well supplied with Target bags, I decided to try something different. The blue fabric is warp faced - the Target bags are used as weft, but don't really show. This time I dressed the loom so that the fabric is weft faced (think rag rugs). I really like the way they are turning out!
