Rag Weaving Inspiration
Followers on facebook and instagram will be aware that I took part in a rag weaving class at Handmaker’s Factory last weekend. Rag weaving is an age old handicraft that recycles unwanted clothes, fabric and yarn in a technique that can be used to make rugs, pot holders, placemats and similar. You can read more on my Weekend Notes article, and Handmaker’s Factory blog.
Now that I have acquired a new recycle craft skill as well as a weaving frame courtesy of Handmaker’s Factory, I have been searching the web for rag weaving inspiration – ways in which this technique can be incorporated into a recycled fashion piece.
The most obvious choice would have to be a rag woven bag by weaving a series of fabric strips to make a few pieces large enough to sew into a tote, clutch or purse.
Here are some examples:
On the fashion front, Geneva’s rug mini skirt shared on her blog back in 2011 can’t go without a mention. Although Geneva did not weave first, she did use two woven dollar store rugs to make it:
Moving away from fashion, yet using old garments to create new, denim can be a great material to use to weave into durable rugs and placemats:
I am sure there are plenty more rag weave pieces to be inspired by on the net, if you know if any more, feel free to leave a comment below.
