well, not faggotting about the original topic, straw bowls could be woven baskets, and a little embroidering here or there, is no harm...

I have seen what Might be described as a "straw bowl", Jackie, made out of strips of plaited straw, would round and round and sewn together
Thank you, my Dear. That sounds like nearly the same technique for making old-timey rag rugs.
Gee, I love this place...once again, an off-the-cuff comment angled off 90 degrees and then some, into quite a patchwork thread.

If you are ever in Charleston SC, go to the city market downtown; you can see straw bowls and baskets being made on the spot by Gullahs. A handiwork unchanged since god knows when.
