It's in the Bag
So, got this loom... and have peers who know stuff and are encouraging and enabling. Dug out and got around to sewing the piece I made earlier on a borrowed loom. Didn't have matching yarn so found something similar to the red of the stripe on that piece, measured off strong warp thread in blue to "match" and wove a strap to make this a bag. Came to the end of the strap weaving and looked up to find the paper at the end had a message on it. Hadn't noticed when I'd put it in that it said "Help."

Sewed the strap onto the bag, sewed a liner in (made from an old sheet), twisted the loose ends until they twisted over on themselves, and done! I like how the blue from the warp in the strap appears checked, mimicking the red stripe of the bag. There are things I'd do differently. The
