Get started in this textile technique and learn the key concepts for weaving your own fashion complements

Through the practice of the tapestry technique, you can weave custom-made accessories, among them your own bag. With the help of Ángela Cayero, the artist behind Poetryarn, learn the keys to design and make your own patterns step by step and apply them to a range of products.

In her first course, Introduction to Tapestry, she introduces you to the technique and, in this one, she teaches you the keys to making circular tapestry, both the stitches and how to design your own circular patterns. Using Ángela's process and tips, create a multifunctional piece, a circular bag that you can wear as a shoulder bag or as a waist bag.

Who is this online course for?

For people who believe in a different and sustainable kind of fashion, for those who want to create their own garments and accessories by hand, and who have a strong artistic character.

Requirements and materials

You will not need any previous knowledge of tapestry, but crochet basics will come in handy. You will definitely need high doses of motivation to create an original piece that represents your style.

As for materials, you’ll need a pencil, an eraser, and colored pencils. For the final project, two woolen balls of 2.5 mm thick thread, a 1.75 mm needle, a two-sided zipper (one that separates into two parts), around 1 meter of cotton for the backpack, two carabiners, a backpack zipper (of the same width of the strip), a sewing needle, and thread.

Multidisciplinary artist

Ángela Cayero (Poetryarn) is a multidisciplinary artist who studied graphic design, artistic photography, fashion, and social work—a career that she did not finish due to her involvement as co-founder of Sacocharte, a creative company that was a precursor of the DIY movement in Spain in 2009.

Currently, her main project is Poetryarn, where she designs original and bursting patterns, to be applied with the tapestry technique. She has also published a book of patterns and texts, which will soon be available on her website and various digital platforms.
