1/11 - 1/15/2024
Carol Colburn and Erin Endsley, Instructors. Design, weave, and sew your own custom handwoven vest. You’ll weave yardage for a vest using a basic twill structure and wool yarn. After weaving your yardage, you will gain experience fulling your wool cloth to create finished fabric for the vest construction, and learn skills for sewing with handwoven fabric. Waist-length music patterns for men and women will be fit and adjusted before weaving your yardage. Vest will be lined with cotton material purchased by the student. There will be numerous options for customizing your vest, including color choices and the addition of pockets, closures, or a back belt. Note that a $75 materials fee will be collected at the time of class, payable directly to the instructors. Students must have beginner level weaving and sewing experience and be able to warp a floor loom with minimal assistance.
