This workshop was held on January 24, 2009.
With Judy Flanders

The decorative center of the “Mad Weave Tote” is woven in “tri-axial weave”, the same weave used for the traditional Shaker cheese basket. Judy uses brightly colored satin ribbon and a braid trim to make this snazzy tote bag stand out at the A&P! (Picture in the latest edition of the newsletter)

Students will weave the Mad Weave Star pattern on a board which will then be transferred onto a purchased tote bag. The star is woven with satin ribbon and has braid trim. Please bring sharp scissors for cutting ribbon. And don’t forget your lunch.
