Saturday Mini Work Shop for April 2018 (date to be determined)
Clifton will help you make a simple vest using your lovely hand woven piece of fabric. This is a class for beginners and any one interested. Hopefully we can and advance to more complicated items in future mini work shops. There is no charge for the classes. You can hand sew the few seams or bring your sewing machine with a walking foot if you have one (recommended) . You will need to weave a piece of fabric long enough to make the vest. This is why there is so much advance notice. Rigid heddle and shaft weavers are welcome.
The only cutting will be for the neck. If you can weave a wide piece you will cut it down the front for the front opening and neck or leave closed for a pullover. If you have a narrow loom you will weave a strip or strips long enough to piece together to make your width . If you knit or crochet I will show you how to make edging for the front and neck opening. Those who attended my talk last week will understand the process. I am giving you 5 months to plan and weave your fabric so take your time and enjoy the process.
Call me any time for information or help. If I have more than 10 people sign up I will do a second class sand during the same month for other people .These vests and jackets and other clothing are made from squares and rectangles and are shown in the ethnic weaving books. We have a good selection of these books in the DFA library. I will be available at rigid heddle and 4+More study group meetings to give out a pattern, answer questions and give advice. I will have instructions on measuring yourself etc: for your yardage.
