I am so grateful for your videos. You give information as well as showing and explaining. The cloth is beautiful and I am thrilled that you used handspun in both warp and weft.
@@getweaving8459 Thank you! I look forward to your publications. I can't make up my mind to cut and start living self-woven yards. I hope to continue soon.
Sarah... I'm looking forward to the rest of this series... may I offer a suggestion? Give viewers some links here on You Tube to your Etsy shop and other ways to contact you and purchase your patterns.
Thank you for these videos. You have a lovely teaching voice and manner Sarah. I love the fact that you use handspun wool, especially Shetland! I'm currently spinning moorit Shetland wool from my own sheep for warp for my Ashford RH. A wrap skirt, or vest, or maybe a tunic/dress will be the result.
With hand woven fabric, do the feed dogs on your sewing machine have to be adjusted? I recently tried making chicken aprons using fleece. It hung up in both my machines. Yikes! Couldn’t tell as you were stitching the ends of your fabric.
No, I don't adjust mine. If I'm worried I sew slowly, a slightly longer stitch. You could try putting a fine layer of tissue paper between the presser foot and the fabric, then tear it away afterwards. Try on a remnant first!
I just loved seeing all that gorgeous fabric coming off the loom. Ima hand spinner and am dealing with sticky warp at the moment. Are there any tips? Also how do you decide on sett for your handspun so it’s a bit open? I’m super excited to make a garment 🥰
The other things you could do- keep the warp tension as tight as possible. Put a stick behind the heddle, turn on its side to make a good shed, push to the back when not needed. That helps with every other row (tabby weave).
Some nice tips in there! May want to think about your video quality though. 720 is pretty low on the scales then the audio gets distorted. Try recording at a higher video quality, the higher the better. 😊
Can’t wait
thankyou for sharing. i enjoy weaving fabric but have yet to cut and sew with it. it is definitely something i am keen to try.
Gracias Sarah
I am so excited about this series! Thank you for sharing
That is just stunning ❤
@juliaventer5232 thank you 😊
Thank you I love your videos and the jacket your wearing is beautiful.

I am loving your videos, they are very motivating and inspiring.
Thank you again for another lovely video. It was really interesting what you were saying about the sett and leaving it more open while you weave.
Hi Sarah love your videos. please keep them coming they are so helpful for RH weavers who want to make things besides scarves.
Enjoying your videos, looking forward to the project
Really looking forward to this project 😊
Благодарю Вас! С нетерпением жду Ваших публикаций. Никак не могу решиться скроить и начать шить самотканые ярды. Надеюсь на скорое продолжение. 😀
I'm afraid I can't read your comment 😔

Thank you! I'm still learning, that's very helpful 🙂
I’m loving this series so much! Thank you!
Hello Sarah. I am looking forwards to getting started on your interesting series.

I love Shetland fleece 🥰
What brand is this beautiful fiber ?
It's all handspun, the warp is Shetland plied with silk cap, the weft is 2ply Shetland from a sheep called Burdock, belonging to a friend of mine 😀 🐏🐑

You could try spraying it with hair spray, it washes out later. To choose the sett I do little samples, I'll be discussing that in another video

How would you secure your weaving if you don’t have a sewing machine?
I use narrow strips of iron on woven interfacing, called Stayflex. You need to do something to stop them unravelling.

Thank you, feedback much appreciated 👍
do you indirect warp?
Only on my floor looms, I find direct warping so much quicker on a rigid heddle loom
