FWD:HANDWOVEN WALLET (1)

i have fallen in fiber love with my vintage Weave-It and my Hazel Rose Multi-Loom... so much so that i wanted to acquire some different sizes... but as you may know, these looms go fast and usually big bucks on Ebay.

so i was overjoyed to find this loom. it is a new loom made by a gentleman in Alabama. he had an Ebay listing for any two of his looms, a weaving needle and free shipping for $45. so i ordered one of his rectangle looms and one of his rug looms.

this is my new loom

this is the contact info for the gentleman that made this loom

--------------------------

i saw this little project on the eloomanater's site; and decided to make my own little handwoven wallet.

i made two squares with my 4" Hazel Rose Multi-Loom and two rectangles

i put the two rectangles together

i folded the squares to make the credit card pockets

and then stitched up the sides

then with the openings facing inward, i stitched the credit card pockets and the rectangle pieces together

i did this on both sides

easy, peasy! it has slots for 4 cards...

and some money!

and it folds up nice and neat!

i think this li'l wallet will make a nice little Christmas gift!

what do you think?

MY NEW FIBER-Y LOVE... WEAVE-IT!

while i was waiting for the barbarian, who was filling out some paperwork for his new job, i decided to try out my vintage weave-it handloom. i scored this cutie from ebay quite a while ago...but i just haven't had time to play with it.

i love how the variegated yarn (hobby lobby's brand "i love this yarn!" #605 sweet mocha ombre) comes out looking almost plaid.

i am thinking that these squares might end up as a christmas gift scarf... what do you think?

jubal did not participate in my fiber fest... he decided that he needed to take a nap!

i really like adding small loom weaving to my multi-craftual arsenal. you can never have too much fiber-y goodness in your life!
