Rigid Heddle Garment making class
Weave and sew a beautiful drapey, open fronted top to wear
In this 1.5 hour class, we delve into the fascinating world of garment making. You will use your hand woven cloth to sew a gorgeous and flattering garment to wear. If you have never used your hand woven cloth to make a garment, this class is perfect for you! I will show you how to custom weave pieces that will become your wearable garment and inspire you with the possibilities.
This class assumes that you have basic knowledge of warping and plain weave. If you are not confident with warping, you may wish to complete my "Warping for Beginners" class first.
It also assumes that you have a sewing machine and basic sewing knowledge.
