Andrea thank you ❤️ there is so little community for young weavers like you and me, I have been looking for a used Might wolf 8shaft for four years and finally got one two.weeks ago in Wisconsin, I was in a race against the rain home to keep it dry, oh the experiences!!!

[@marinamartinez6886]

Those sections of fabric were perfect for the Mermaid theme. Looked like lots of fun! 😊

[@EloiseBarker-py9fh]

How fun. I like to see how you make clothes with your woven fabric. Stay well and colorful.

[@fiberchick]

❤ Love the woven jacket. Love the dinosaur t-shirt. Love the mermaids. Yes please to you both in costumes.

[@olgaw5082]

Such a cool project!!! And the dinosaur shirt is iconic!

[@Ahlathein]

Too cute 🥰 all of it

[@annettemixon1264]

I love your jacket.

[@Floras_Fiber_Farrago]

Love how the jacket turned out! I recall you originally called the colors nickelodeon vibes when you made the fabric, but it really is perfect for a summery mermaid piece!!

[@lisagay-pt2nv]

I had to watch twice, just because so much to see. The fabric is beautiful every inch. And the crabs with Ryan so funny. Yes to a costume for next year.

[@jenniferh8693]

I really love the colours in this jacket Andrea, and I think it really suits you!

[@jullsneska9323]

The jacket turned out great! Such a fun video, thank you for sharing 😊

[@Curly_n_Yarny]

This was so much fun to watch 😍

[@tanyarichmond8313]

I love everything you do!

[@partyfiesta1557]

My only complaint: it was too short of a video! I want you to take me on many more of your adventures! Glad you are lots of fun. Enjoy your summer break ❤🎉

[@jgordy4840]

I always enjoy and am inspired by your vids.😅

[@infamoussphere7228]

We all have different tastes - I absolutely love the colour palate of that jacket! Very reminiscent of tropical fish. I'm glad you were able to make something fun out of your fabric and weren't too scared off by the not-totally-you colour scheme. It looks great on you

[@wingsinthewood]

I don't think you ever have to apologize for a dinosaur shirt. 🤣

[@soniatriana9091]

Hello Andrea🤗🤗 I totally LOVE all your videos!! Your colorful & unique styling is fantastically fabulous 👍🏻👍🏻🤗🤗🙌🏻🙌🏻!! I’m new to your channel & I think you’re a textile/fashion student, how awesome!!

[@teacat55]

5:39. I see your next inspirations….

[@cerwelt]

I love the colors of your fabric/jacket. They work together. Love the dino shirt. I took marine biology in high school and spent a lot of time exploring tide pools in Northern California. That was back when dinos roamed the planet. Jk.

[@hverdagslykke1897]

Just found your channel and your videos are super inspiring! ✨ just out of curiosity; how wide are your loom? I have a rigid heddle loom and I can only weave 40cm width, your loom might be a bit wider? 80 or so? Or more?

[@AndreaAlexander]

My loom is 24” max! Thank you for your kindness towards my videos 🥹❤️

[@MijnWolden]

Beautiful lovely project BUT PLEASE NEVER AGAIN APOLOGISE FOR DINOSAURS. Thank you 😘
