My first magbag - a photo on Flickriver

My first magbag

Finally I got my act together and finished a mag-bag -
I used a christmas catalogue, folded the pages into strips and wove them together. The woven paper bag then got covered in clear adhesive plastic, the handles stitched onto it with pink ribbon - and I have lined the bag with lining fabric and put in a pocket.

I am not sure what to do about the bag/lining thing - the lining slides around inside the paper bag, and it looks like it does not really want to be in there - but I found, it needed something on the inside - otherwise dust and crumbs would sneak through the weaving and get stuck on the visible side in the sticky plastic....
Hm. I will have to refine this, should I make another one of these!

I recommend doing one - the weaving bit is great fun! :-) Tutorial to be found in this book -
