Handwoven Garments with a Weaving Loom

Handwoven Garments with a Weaving Loom

“We have now reached the end of the course. Thank you so much for bearing with me! I hope you have learned all the tools necessary to create your own woven garment. If you follow the lessons, you will see that it actually is not that hard to create your own designs―whether it be trousers, shirts, coats, or any other kind of garment you can imagine. The techniques I have shown you in this course can be applied to nearly anything! Let me quickly remind you of all the steps in the weaving process so you can dive into your final project straight away. Firstly and most importantly: I would like you to be original and creative when uploading your final project. Don’t be afraid to experiment, try something you haven’t done before and have fun. Start with something simple and go from there. Less is more :). Starting with your mood board: Here, I would like to see you exploring different colors, shapes, and patterns.

After having gathered all the materials you're going to need, it's time to build your desk with wood and nails, setting up your warp with yarn. Make sure that every nail is firmly set into the wood. Make strong knots when attaching the beginning of the warp around the nail. The tension of the warp should not be too loose or too tight. You should be able to weave through the warp comfortably. This step is very important since it will influence the final project the most. Another factor that cannot be stressed enough is your choice of yarn. Try to choose yarns that are of good quality. My tip is to work with yarns for crocheting if you are a beginner in weaving. It's much easier to work with these types of yarns. I've explained how to weave the front and the back part of the vest. I would like to see the separate pieces as well as the assembled one. Don't forget to add ribbons, extra decorative elements, and embellishments to customize your design! Once you're done and happy with your final project, don't forget to upload it to the forum by clicking on the button "Create your project". Participate in the forum by sharing ideas and giving feedback to other members of the community. You'll find that there's so much to learn from each other! I can't wait to take a look at your creations. See you in the forum!”
