Handwoven Hemp

A while back I purchased some fantastic hemp fabric from a shop on Etsy called Rainy Day Supply. This 100% eco-friendly hemp fabric was grown, spun, woven and hand dyed with natural plant dyes by a fair trade collective of Hmong hilltribe women. I made several bags using this lovely fabric. Susie Robison, who has a lovely shop on Etsy, made a handmade daily agenda using it!                                                Hemp Fabric from Rainy Day Supply                                                                           The Wayfarer Purse in Hemp by Pesky Cat Designs                                               Handmade Daily Agenda by Susie Robison                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

The Finished Product

                   The Wayfarer Purse in Cornflower Blue Hemp Y esterday I finished up a batch of new creations. The Wayfarer posted above is made out of a handwoven hemp fabric I purchased at a very nice shop on Etsy called Rainy Day Supply . This fabric is 100% eco-friendly and was grown, spun and dyed with natural plant dyes by a fair trade collective of Hmong hilltribe women.   The fabric has a linen-like look to it. I love its natural raw qualities. I can't wait to make more handbags with this unique fabric!
