Hello folks, it’s been a busy few months since I last posted an update, as I’ve been very busy: mostly weaving as part of my new business: Jessica Norris Handwoven. This culminated in amazing success at this year’s Sydney Royal Easter Show. Read on to find out how I did!

Weaving Milestones
Weaving has kept me very busy of late: in May I had an exhibition of my work entitled “Studies in Colour and Weave” and more recently I’ve submitted work for the Handweavers and Spinners Guild of NSW’ Intermediate Certificate of Weaving. Check out what all of this involved!
Fractal scarf
I’ve woven something amazing, and I can hardly believe I really did it: a scarf made from my own hand spun fractal yarn!
Spinning to weave
Are you interested in weaving with hand spun yarn? Get warped up for sampling and just give it a go!
Hats off to handwoven
I plunged straight into sewing with my handwoven fabric in order to make these amazing bucket hats. Just in time for Christmas!
Handwoven Christmas pyjamas
Christmas pyjamas are always a classic, but this year I wanted to make something extra special: hand woven pyjamas! They’re fantastic!
Darn socks!
Darn it, I’ve almost put a hole in my favourite knitted socks! Luckily, I know just what to do: darn it!
Converting my old loom
How did I turn my hopeless Jack table loom into something that weaves beautiful cloth? Read on and watch the video to find out!
Painting in cloth
I’m inspired to get weaving again, and this time, really learn how to do it well. I’ve made a series of samples for colour and technique based on a painting I have on the wall.Check out how it came out!
Men’s to Boy’s
What do you do when you need a “semi-formal” outfit for a boy’s Year 6 Farewell? Dig out an old men’s collared shirt and get cutting, that’s what!
