Little Yellow Purse!

Hey guys, look! I made this purse! I had a little room left on my warp from my sample (those are the super long strings on the loom that run parallel vertically) so I decided to weave a purse. I used tapestry wool, so that once I took it off the loom and put it through the wash, it would felt up a little bit and be a little more sturdy.
Then I folded up the piece I had woven like an envelope, stitched it together, and put a piece of cardboard in the bottom to make it strong.

The edges looked a little crappy, because I didn't have enough room to weave in my warp after I cut my sample apart, so I decided to use leather as a bias-tape. This leather came from an old suede jacket, which I have been chopping to bits since freshman year. All that's left now is a sleeve and the collar (:

Finally, I lined it with a heavy floral cotton from an old skirt, and sewed together a strap. And tada! A totally useable little purse from scratch!
