Amazingly beautiful. I’m so happy I found your site. A lady gave me various scraps & one length of handwoven fabric which I wanted to use. I could only think of making pillow covers. This will give me better options. Thanks

I am experiencing the "I didn't make enough fabric" problem with a jacket right now. I wove a bit more but of course I neglected to write down what sett I originally used so it looks a bit different from the original. I have finally wraped my OCD head around the fact that I am the designer and I can do anything I want! The jacket will be what it will be and be beautiful. Thanks for the encouraging video!

Very inspiring! I plan to add knitting but I like the ideas.

[@edinacole6382]

So helpful even for a garment maker that doesn’t weave their own fabric

I love your cheats!
