Weaving Without a Loom
Well, this week I learned that it is possible to weave without a loom. I just tied two board above and below a windowsill and voila! an instant weaving loom. I’m using it to weave my brother’s Halloween costume, the serape Clint Eastwood wore in the Spaghetti Westerns. Never too early to start. I usually make costumes for rental in October, so my own family’s costumes have to be done earlier. I also decided to make this week, my first week sewing with a pattern. I usually make own patterns to sew from scratch, but this week I was in Jo-Anne fabrics (my favorite store in the world) and they were having a pattern sale. I’m a sucker for any type of period garb, so when I saw a pattern for a full-hooped civil war era gown, I couldn’t resist. If nothing else, I just want to experiment and see what it’s like to work with a premade pattern. It should be fun.
