The herringbone wool outer fabric was leftover from a larger project (Ivar’s klappenrock). It’s a trapezoidal shape because I just wanted to try it out; it’s got a box bottom and sides; and it’s got a herringbone stitch over the seams in cotton weaving thread (same stitch pattern as you see on the “Leens Hat”).
The lining is pale green linen from stash. The whole bag is hand sewn. My friend Waylan made the handles on his CNC router, and I finished and stained them. I love the handles - I’ve had them laser-cut before and I didn’t like the scorching thst happens on the edges. The CNC router leaves a nice clean-cut edge that just needs a little bit of sanding.
The strap is tablet woven, an Oseberg-inspired design in black/brown/green (cotton thread).
I really like how this one turned out. I wish it opened more at the top; but it’s a great size and will definitely hold all my stuff.
I think I’m going to use the rest of that klappenrock fabric for a small hood. Back soon!
