Farmer's Doubleweave Bread Bag

I love old grain and seed bags. It is hard to believe all the work that went into them. When I hold one in my hands and think about how the thread had to be spun and woven, then cut and sewn into a grain bag, it’s just mind-blowing.

I thought it might be fun to make my own bag—not a grain bag because I have no use for such a large bag, but maybe a bread bag to store my loaf of newly baked bread. I could spin all the thread from flax roving and doubleweave a tube that requires no side seams.
