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!

A handwoven viking apron dress

I’ve wanted to weave my own apron dress fabric for some time, especially since it’s very difficult to get wool fabric in Australia that is suitable for reproductions. Now I’ve finally done it!

I plunged straight into sewing with my handwoven fabric in order to make these amazing bucket hats. Just in time for Christmas!

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!
