Miyako Leather Bag Handle
Use the Miyako handle to create your own no-sew bag with a one square yard of fabric. Drawing on the concept of furoshiki, the Japanese art of cloth-wrapping, this innovative Miyako Bag Handle allows you to create original bag designs. With a few folding and knotting steps, you can create bags for all occasions and in just a few minutes time.
The techniques are vast, but even the simplest one is enough of an accomplishment to make you want to learn a few more. These handles are perfect for scarves as well as those pieces of fabric that you just aren't ready to cut into yet. What I think is fun about this, is that I can immediately "try out" a new bag with a few clever folding tricks and knots. As for fabric, consider the look that you want. If you don't want a "wrong side" of the fabric to show, try using a yarn-dyed fabric (yarn-dyed = reversible!) or simply sew two large squares of fabric together to create a reversible bag design. (A little more on this toward the bottom of the listing.)
The handle comes with easy to follow assembly instructions or you can purchase the Miyako Handle Instruction Booklet (sold separately) for full instructions on how to create three different bag styles. To learn how to make a bag, like the one in the listing photo, you can watch this video on YouTube.
*Photo shown of finished projects and pattern are examples only, this listing is for the bag handle only.
