The fabric you made at the end with your ice dyed wool was by far my favorite. You can see the soul you imparted to the cloth with your love and intention. Wonderful! Thank you so much for taking the time to put this video together. I am being gifted my aunt's full size loom and have been getting nervous thinking about my idea for a hand dyed garmet line. This video makes me feel so much better about the feasibility of it all. Cheers!
Andrea you are wise beyond your years. Gosh the whole conversation about 'waste' and using scraps is something I ponder A LOT when it comes to crafting. I'm the same when it comes to wanting to make sure you put all the yarn to use and 'create the perfect project'. But you are so right it's about the fun of making; the product is just a result of that experience. Beautiful work!
You’re so right about breaking a huge project into smaller bits! You enthusiasm is inspiring and your creativity sparks so brightly, we can all learn from you ❤ thanks Andrea, such a joy to watch you
this is inspirational, im recovering from a concussion and trying to weave complicated things that are too much for my brain right now. im going to drop that and just weave!
Hands down you are my favorite UA-cam artists. Your philosophy regarding making, your personality and voice, choice of music and importantly your creations are top notch. I never miss your videos. So happy you chose to study at F.I.T. You are destined to be very successful.
As a weaver who has taken a long hiatus and thinking more and more how I want to re-enter this art/craft. I think I have my answer. THANK YOU so much for this video and all the rest of the ones I have binge watched for hours and hours. I am very inspired.
Oh days 10-15 are so beachy and tropical, they make me happy to look at. The wavy vertical line really makes me think of a shoreline. And then the following days like you set sail into deep ocean.... So much love. Also for your ice dyed yarn, there was this mauve-y purple color that was just stunning. Wonderful work!
Wow, this is fabulous. I love your enthusiasm and can't wait to see what you do with this fabulous fabric. I'm a patchworker who is the same about fabric. It's too nice to use!
What a fantastic challenge for yourself! End result is amazing! You truly embraced the Saori method by letting go and just weaving Very exciting! Can’t wait to see what you make with it all.👍🏼😊
Wow I was really taken by surprise when you said you weren’t liking the blue and orange section….. I was grooving away on how it looked through the camera. Omg. Day 21-23….. be still my heart.
Thank you so much 🥹💕 I definitely feel better about the fabric nowadays! I think I was just out of my comfort zone and feeling a little bit weird about that 🤣 PS: I ended up sewing a garment with that fabric about a week ago, and hope to have a video up about that process sometime this summer!
I just Subscribed to you after seeing you on Textiles and Tea. What a cool idea to weave such a long piece. I loved seeing all the weaving you were wearing. I've yet to weave yardage for sewing, but should do so at some point.
Thank you for sharing. I too am a new weaver and so want to cut my fabric 😖 🥴. I am inspired by your projects and now to plan my challenge. Many thanks from Debs Down Under.
Thank You so much, Andrea Alexander 🧶 for sharing your creative process! The fabric you’ve made is AMAZING, I am so impressed, and I’d never heard of ready made warp 😯
everything about this video just sings creativity! I love all the yardage you made and look forward to see what it all becomes. Your ice dyed shirt was crazy cool but your various jackets great too. you are a natural in front of the camera and I can see you would be an excellent teacher as well.
WOW on your ice dyed shirt! Beautiful!!! And what a great project. I'm a really "tight" (control/perfectionist) weaver, and I'm going to set up one loom just for a "loosening up" self challenge.
Is it ok to watch your videos multiple times. Your feed came up, I got excited, it was an old video. I watched it anyway. Grandma love from Texas by way of Northern California.
Awesome! I definitely struggle to break away from the structure of a planned project. And especially because weaving is sooooo labour intensive, both in setup and use, it does feel like you have to make the time/yarn worth it.
I loved this so much Andrea! Congratulations on setting yourself this challenges and sticking with it. The reward is just amazing and I think I finally understood what Saori and Art Weaving is about now
what a fun and inspiring process! I think I might have to put on a long warp to just play with my stash now that I've seen how interesting the results can be.
Your recap is exactly what I needed to hear. I can relate to your comments on where your weaving was before this challenge. I have been weaving Saori style for several years but have never just let it go wherever it lands because of the 'precious' yarn thought. Since my 'precious' yarn has been sitting idle for too long I think it's time to let it go!
What a fabulous idea Andrea! You have inspired me to do a similar project later in the year. I think I am even less confident in my sewing skills than you are and I have also been feeling too precious about my cloth. This 30 day challenge will be the perfect way for me to move through those mental blocks too. So how about a 30 day 'Sewing my Cloth' challenge!!! (No pressure, I watch your videos, I know you are crazily busy.)
Thank you so much for watching!! ❤ I think you will love the experience of this challenge because it really does help you bond with your loom (I know that sounds so corny, but it's so true!! 😂). I have nooooo clue when I'll be able to sew with any of these fabrics. Hopefully, I can sneak away from my school work and maybe spend a weekend making a quick shirt or a jacket, but odds are, I'm going to have to wait for the summertime 🥲 I honestly still have a huge sewing mental block that I'm still working through... We can motivate each other 😂❤ I'd love to see what you make!!
I totally enjoy your videos and always look forward to next one. You have so much positive energy which really brightens my day, so thank you. Your weaving looks very inspiring and amazing. Greetings from Helsinki, Finland!
Just WOW! I loved this video. I really appreciate the idea of weaving (even just a little) everyday💙 I can’t wait to see what you decide to create with those beautiful woven fabrics. Happy weaving🧶
Way to go andrea ! Of course i adore it! Glad my idea of weaving 30 yards in 30 days by weaving a yard a day for a month , which i love to do inspired you! I just want to hug all that yummy yardage ! Love your videos😍
Thank you so much!! 🥰 I have no idea what I'm going to sew yet! My school semester is starting up again so I'm not sure when I'll have the time.. Maybe if I have a slow week I can sneak off to my sewing machine 😉
@@nickolena Thank you SO much for this idea, Jill! 😘Did you notice your huge sparkly/coiled art yarn scraps in my crazy blue/orange weaving? 😉 Your scraps 100% inspired me to let go and just go for it because I loved them so much and was holding onto them waiting for the "perfect" moment and realized the colors exactly matched my weaving, so the moment ended up being perfect! Those scraps are what changed that whole moment for me. Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
OMG! I just found your channel. Great stuff. I'm a weaver-- David 3 loom. You are giving me inspiration and ideas I never thought of doing. Thanks. PS....What is the sett on the Saori?
Your awesome, and inspirational. I want to start weaving in my life , self learning. Will see if what I can do after I meet you in this channel. Thank you for advice and your enthusiasm 🌹🌞😎👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
What a fabulous project to get loose with your process! I haven't seen many videos on Saori style weaving and I am really impressed with how easily the prepared warps go onto the loom. Now that you have been at school for a semester and doing more complex weaving structures do you still enjoy Saori-style weaving? I am tempted to get one of their looms as I am a color and texture person and have no interest in complex structures.
I promise I'm not sponsored by Saori at all, but I REALLY do love their pre-wound warps 😂 They really do make warping/weaving feel totally effortless, especially these huge warps where the weaving seems to go on forever! And yes, I absolutely still love Saori-style weaving!! My first semester of weaving at FIT was very focused on "perfect/consistent" weave structures and honestly, changing my headspace from Saori weaving to this kind of weaving was not easy in the beginning. I felt limited by the expectations to create something "practical" that meets a teacher's expectations, which is very opposite to the Saori philosophy and how I'm used to weaving, so I really struggled at first to find any joy in my in-class projects. I had to convince myself to start thinking of these two activities as completely different creative experiences. Like yes, they're both weaving, but they just involve totally different mindsets and philosophies and techniques and etc. Once I could see my school work as totally separate from Saori, I found my groove and now I'm excited to take more and more complex weaving classes. I absolutely want to continue Saori-style weaving on the side, and both practices will inform one another! Sorry for the long rant, I hope it made sense 😅❤ If you already have a loom, you don't necessarily need a Saori to enjoy this kind of weaving practice because you can just ignore all but two harnesses and you have the exact same thing! The pre-wound warps are a huge plus, though 😅
@@AndreaAlexander I'm glad you found a way to enjoy both styles of weaving. I hope you do more videos on Saori style and also show us what you do with all your cloth!
oh my, that's quite a bit of greige fabric you got there... I recently cleaned an old work bench that the wood boards rotted out of, just so happens, i want to make a loom on top of it! thanks for making me want to abandon my new project to see if i can focus enough to stuff my RHL with 30 meters of warp!!! ps, have you tried that saori cloth beam capacity extension trick?!? unroll the cloth so some hangs down then you roll it back up and brake the cloth beam.... your cloth beam now has a tongue and more space for cloth!
Ooooh I'd love to see 30 meters on a RHL!! Have an amazing time with both of your projects, they sound so exciting 😃❤ Also I had no clue you could do that with the cloth beam and I am absolutely going to try that next time!!
What beautiful fabrics! Your set up for the video was perfect! I guess I will try something similar in the near future. Because I just started weaving on a rigid heddle loom it will be the perfect way to learn all those new techniques and explore colour. Thank you for this lovely idea😍
Thank you so much!! I hope you have fun with it 🥰 For my project, I used a 100% cotton warp and wove with a whooooooole bunch of different yarns for my weft (cotton, wool, acrylic, silk, blends, etc) and the fabrics turned out totally fine because I only either wash my fabrics by hand or on cold/delicate wash cycles. If I were to toss these fabrics into a very hot wash, the yarns would shrink differently (the wool will shrink the most) and create some funky textured fabrics, which can be REALLY fun if you're into experimentation! But if you want to mix fibers and play it safe, stick to cold washes and it'll turn out fine ☺
What resolve you have, Andrea 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼! I'm doing well if I weave one meter of fabric per year. More like an inch a month. 😂🤣 By the way, that clasped weft fabric on the wall behind you is just beautiful.
Thank you!! I used quite a few different patterns for my jackets, some from the Saori Black Book, some I made up, and some from miscellaneous patterns that I found on Etsy. Was there any garment in particular that you'd like to know the pattern for? 😃
The projects are kind of scattered around my channel, but I ended up bringing a lot of the fabrics to San Diego to sew them into garments! I have a little series of San Diego Saori Studio vlogs, if you want to check those out 🥹❤️
Late to the party, obviously. I was hoping that some where in the video you would have mentioned what the average time was for each day/yard. Just curious. Inspiring!!
Goddamn watching your videos gives me the itch to get a loom myself 😅 great challenge! During the 24 day Tour de Fleece last month I also gained a lot confidence in my spinning 😁
@@AndreaAlexander Well you just taught me something then! I had never heard that before. I thought, she must have meant seamstress, but then I just saw that that means someone who sews professionally. Keep up the good work! :)
@@laurierich3309 Thank you so much!! I also tend to use "sewist" instead of "sewer" because I don't like thinking about sewage systems when writing about crafting 🤣❤
The fabric you made at the end with your ice dyed wool was by far my favorite. You can see the soul you imparted to the cloth with your love and intention. Wonderful!
Thank you so much for taking the time to put this video together. I am being gifted my aunt's full size loom and have been getting nervous thinking about my idea for a hand dyed garmet line. This video makes me feel so much better about the feasibility of it all.

Not sure actually. I haven't looked for the follow up. Sorry.
This was so great! I love not only watching your progress, but hearing all your takeaways during & after! Great job!!
What a fantastic challenge for yourself! End result is amazing!
You truly embraced the Saori method by letting go and just weaving Very exciting!

Thank you so, so much!! 🥰🥰🥰
Days 16 17 and 18 were extremely satisfying! All of those gorgeous turquoise blue yarns!

I know it was a year ago for you but it was still totally awesome ❤
Such a great idea! I wanna too.
You are amazing!
Where did you get that tool you secured the warp with before you cut it off. Approx. 8:38 minute mark. ? Neat idea.
It's a "Saori Clipping Rod"! I got mine from Saori Santa Cruz on Etsy.
Awesome ...
This might have been asked already, but do have a link for where you got your warp?
I want your loom sooooooo bad lol thanks for all inspiration
Days 10-15 look wonderful, they look like water and desert scenes. I thought they were interesting and cool! Personal taste. 😁
Thank you for the compliment!! 🥰 I don't know why I hated that fabric so much while I was working on it, but it's definitely grown on me 🤣
Where do i get the crafters treadmill
Where did you get the black warp?
Wonderful and inspiring video, Andrea. I’m going to do this too. 😀
Is it ok to mix a cotton warp with wool weft? What does it come out like?
Thank you so much!! I hope you have fun with it 🥰 For my project, I used a 100% cotton warp and wove with a whooooooole bunch of different yarns for my weft (cotton, wool, acrylic, silk, blends, etc) and the fabrics turned out totally fine because I only either wash my fabrics by hand or on cold/delicate wash cycles.

@@AndreaAlexander the first jacket with the turned back collar. Loved that design
What did you do with this fabric? I just found this video and I would really like to see your creations. Maybe I am just missing those videos.
The projects are kind of scattered around my channel, but I ended up bringing a lot of the fabrics to San Diego to sew them into garments! I have a little series of San Diego Saori Studio vlogs, if you want to check those out 🥹❤️
Thanks, I will look for that. I would like to learn to weave patterns on the loom, I think.
Good
I'm Seeing a lot of potential purses & backpacks.
Late to the party, obviously. I was hoping that some where in the video you would have mentioned what the average time was for each day/yard. Just curious. Inspiring!!
How long did you spend weaving each day?
Around 1-2 hours, depending on how complicated the weaving was!
Goddamn watching your videos gives me the itch to get a loom myself 😅 great challenge! During the 24 day Tour de Fleece last month I also gained a lot confidence in my spinning 😁
no need to use God's name in vain.
sewist? Seamstress maybe?
