    Love using foam for the little discs- much sturdier than cardboard for impatient 4 & 6 yr old grandkids!! I am sure I will be sending partially done bracelets home at the end of their visit so I want it easy for my DIL. Thanks!

    everythign you made this week was lovely, but I think I like the octopus shawl and the comb reed sample the best. Lovely to see you connect with your extended family and so smart to be Covid cautious. Stay well!

    I like the sample with the comb reed. I saw an example on UA-cam, it was a studio in England. I had seen finger fringes on a scarf that a woman had made. I wasn't sure how to do that. Thanks for showing how. I find your Vlogs so inspiring, keep up the good work.

    I love everything you made this week, especially the asymmetrical vest. I thought of you this week when I watched a video on Just Get It Done Quilts channel, where Karen interviewed Tula Pink about her fabric designing business. I found it fascinating.

      What a funny coincidence - at the NeedleCraft Cottage (the store that WabiSabiWeaving is attached to), the owner, Megan, was working on a Tula Pink quilt last week!! I had never heard of that designer before and totally fell in love with her designs. I totally want to go find that video!!

    How I love your podcasts! So inspirational, wish I had a chance to try out Saori weaving, but here in Finland no such looms or studios available. Anyhow the scarf you made to your cousin gave an idea to try out with my rigid heddle loom, so thank you Andrea.

    Rainbow yarns look pretty cool when mixed with an alternate single-color skein, like black, navy, white, or dark purple. The contrast is a lot of fun.
    Love seeing your sewn garments, it's just the coolest, and very inspiring! (Are saori lower garment patterns a thing? You would totally rock some crazy color handwoven shorts. Might have to try that myself!)

      @AndreaAlexander  2 роки тому +1

      Oooh, I like that idea!! Thank you for sharing!
      I've been hesitant to make any kind of pants or skirts or etc. just because I tend to use a lot of unconventionally mixed fibers and don't know how they'd behave 😅😅😅 But I'm sure i'll try to tackle those someday!! I'd love to see how yours turn out 😃

    So fun! Love the vests, what kind of tape material did you have on your fabric when sewing for the arm holes? I want to do more sewing with handwoven fabric and that looked like a great tool

    • @AndreaAlexander
      @AndreaAlexander  2 роки тому +3

      Thank you so much!! That tape is Quilter's Tape. I use it to mark out where I am going to cut my fabric. I always sew around where I am going to make my cuts, so I place the tape, take my fabric to the sewing machine and sew around the tape (so the tape is just a guide), then remove the tape before cutting! It's a trick I learned from Suzanne that I'm 100% going to keep doing going forward because it is so so so much easier thank chalk or pins. I hope this was helpful!! 😃💕 Happy sewing!

      I used quilter's tape! It's only there to tell me where I need to cut/sew. So I place the tape, sew around the tape, remove the tape, and then cut my fabric! I hope you have a wonderful time making the vest 😃💕
