Make your own Fabrics!

Have you ever wondered how wonderful it would be to make your own fabrics, whether for suitings, skirts or for cushions, for example?

Do you think you need a huge loom that would fill your dining room?  Do you think that all you can weave on a simple loom is scarves and table runners?

Well you might be pleasantly surprised!  Most of the introductory courses I teach are on simple and affordable looms that not only allow you to weave scarves, but beautiful fabrics that can be used to make clothes.

If you attended one of the courses I run for Skylark Holiday, for example, such as the Introduction to Weaving course you would:
  • Learn to warp a loom.
  • Weave a scarf.
  • Learn how to plan a warp for fabric for a chosen project.
  • Weave a piece of fabric for a cushion cover or small article of your choice.
  • Finish your fabric to that it can be cut and sewn.
  • Finish the ends of your scarf without knotting.

    I've been teaching spinning, weaving and dyeing for over 25 years and have always wanted a way for the Monday Class to keep in touch with each other.  So I've created this blog to enable them to keep up to date with what we are doing from week to week or month to month, at the class, or if they miss a week or two.  I hope it will be useful.  Please let me know!
