Too wide, clasped weft band

I started this band a week or so ago, and after realizing it was far too wide for what I had in mind, I took the scissors to it. Yes, I actually cut the warp to make it the right width. Luckily, this is a short warp and it won't be long until it's off the loom. Just another novice trying to learn how to weave… 

Nearly there… Doni’s Deli bag

I spent a few hours sewing the seams of my Doni's Deli bag. It's a little tricky, but I pinned it together and suddenly it all made sense. I decided to sew the handle edges together, but I'm uncertain about how it looks. I may tear out that seam and leave it. I had left enough fabric to create an inside pocket, but I also like letting it drape over the top. If I added a big button, it'd look pretty cute!
What's left? Maybe re-doing the handle, maybe making a pocket/adding a button, maybe adding a liner. This is one big project!
