Rag Weaving on a Rigid Heddle - where has his night shirt gone ?

Living miles away from fabric shops and not wanting to spend dollars to make fabric then recycling is a neat way to make your own. do it yourself fabric is unique and a cool way to recycle a favourite item.

Believe it or not this weaving is done with torn strips of hubby's night shirt, frayed and ready to toss out when inspiration hit - guess he's still searching for it ...
looks mighty like denim and gave a very strong and interesting texture fabric for a bag.
