Learn to weave your own tote bag on a pre-warped rigid heddle loom using repurposed cotton strips of fabric, along with a wide selection of quality yarns. You will weave and create your own individual design which will be customized to your aesthetic. Once the fabric has been woven, Dahlia will assemble the tote bag at her studio (apply the handles and shape the bag) and ship it to you.
