Notes:

I used the directions for the Grab it and Go Bag from "Weaving Made Easy".  It took me about two weeks to weave and sew the bag but I forgot to take any pictures of it.  My only complaint is that the straps are a little shorter than I would like.  It would be nice to wear with the strap across my body instead of over the shoulder so if I make another, I'll make it longer.
