#youd probably need a more defined hem for that though...

First of all, thank you!

Doing a bag like that would be so fun! I'd just wonder if the bands I can make on my inkle loom would be long enough? Definitely worth a shot! Might try it first on something simpler, like bookmarks or coasters or something- we'll see!

Doing the tablet weaving idea would be so cool! I definitely need more practice tablet weaving before I try that though, I've only ever really done it twice 😅 maybe someday! I need to get better at that weaving math too haha. Prototyping with fabric or material that you aren't as worried about ruining definitely helps though!

The only thing I'd keep in mind with prototyping vs your actual project with the bands is that, at least in my experience, bands tend to be a lot thicker than any other fabric. It doesn't mean you can't do it, but the final project will probably be more textured than the prototypes, if that makes sense. The folding capability of bands is definitely different than regular fabrics, that I know. But honestly? That might even make it more interesting!

It occurred to me that I haven't posted here in a hot minute- Academics sure do get in the way of that. I'm still working on projects though! I finished the band I was working on previously:

Then I decided to do something new with it, but that will be coming soon once I get it to a good place that doesn't look like I'm just tacking it together for the sake of it. I can't wait to show it off!

And then, of course, I put something new on the loom.

(Yeah, its the same pattern, and it's just as messy to keep the tension.)

We're doing our best, And that's what matters.

I don't entirely know what I'll do with the second one, but I'll figure something out. It's just there to keep me sane anyway, gives me something to do that isn't school-work!
