Weave a bag or purse - PEP BB textile.straw.weave.purse

This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in textiles.

In this project, you will design and weave a small bag or purse.  Techniques and looms are up to you.  Your warp-faced, weft-faced, or balanced weave bag must be big enough to hold a book or tablet, have two pockets, a woven strap, and be sturdy/durable.
