Schlep bag/Japanese Twist

Well, I've fought this long enough. I tried to get the post in with the pictures but I guess that's for another day. This bag was made from a convergence top that just quite didn't make it, but it makes a nice bag. The fabric was drawn on with Sharpies and then sprayed with rubbing alcohol. I supplemented the strips with some lining so that when the points were turned down it was still the convergence fabric. I braided some ribbons with the cording for the draw string. Not bad but not batik.
