Wearing a jacket or top that you've created gives a special sense of accomplishment. When you make a handwoven garment, you combine the skills of a fabric designer and weaver with those of a clothing designer and seamstress--an ambitious and highly rewarding endeavor. From casual cotton tops to sophisticated silk/wool-blend jackets, the garments in this collection may be woven as shown or may serve as inspiration for other creative ventures. Woven on four, six, and eight shafts, the cotton, wool, silk, and mohair fabrics range in weaving width from just over 16" to just over 34". Plan, experiment, explore, and above all, enjoy weaving these beautiful garments.
