Nadine Sanders, known as the Singing Weaver, will discuss the design and creation of hand-woven wearables at the November meeting of the Whatcom Weavers Guild.
Wearables from hand-woven fabric that fit, feel wonderful to wear, and look great are a challenge to many weavers. In this program you’ll touch actual garments and see images of clothing for all kinds of bodies and clothing construction abilities. From loom shaped garments, to sewing patterns that require only a few straight seams, to tailored garments, discover a pattern that will work for you. Make the garment sing with the right weave structure and yarns. Discover how textured plain weave gives marvelous drape and allows for combining many different yarns in the warp and weft. Complete the garment with embellishment and finishing touches that tastefully accompany your look. Leave with not only ideas, but a plan of action to create a wearable that gets worn!
The meeting will be on Wednesday, Nov. 9, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. at St. James Presbyterian Church’s lower level meeting room at 910 14th St. in Bellingham. Admission is free.
