Notes

190 ends of 8/4 cotton at 10 epi
Warp is 1” strips of plastic shopping bags

3” hems (Bag #1 8/4 cotton, Bag #2 in Knit Picks Comfy)

33” length in plarn (plastic yarn)

Sewed both bags with a topstitch needle, upholstery thread, and woven heavy setting on my machine. Bag #1 at stitch length 4 and bag #2 at stitch length 3.

Top hems folded over twice to the outside.

Experimented with different widths for the strap on each bag. Other notes on pictures.

Will use bags for a while and see what improvements I might want before I make more.

Base approximately 13” by 5” and about 12” tall.
