This post is dedicated to Em, who came into our lives 25 years ago today. You have enriched our lives beyond measure, and it's been so wonderful to watch you grow, stretch, and discover your own special and unique gifts and talents. I will not embarass you here by lavishing on about you because you are quiet and private person. But you know in your heart you amaze me, and I am so proud of you!
In honor of this special birthday, I wove the fabric for a knitting bag I've been wanting to make for a while. Something big enough to hold a project with couple of balls, needles, etc. Something easy to get into, but not so big that you can't find anything.
It's made from recycled men's shirts, which I ripped into rags, joined together, then used as the weft on my loom.
Random shirt buttons popped through in the weaving.
I saved the surprise for last. The bag is lined with an extra large men's shirt. I kept the button band and the inside pocket!
Happy, happy birthday, dear Emilie!
With all my love,
Mommy
