Weave with Style

by Jean Wilson

Weave with Style is a practical guide on how to create a woven fabric best suited for the desired garment.  Jean Wilson stresses that planning head is important.  Planning of the total design, from thread to weaving to cutting to finished result, will prevent problems associated with bulky seams, impossible corners and thick hems.  She offers tips and guidance on creating workable edges, finished seams and practical shaping for handwovens.  Many creative ideas for fabric design, garment shaping, finishing and embellishments are described and illustrated in photographs.  Several projects are detailed for you to try or to initiate your own designs.
