Wine and Weaving

I'm definitely getting better at this.

Working on band number three. :)

First Inkle Weaving

As modeled by the charming Azathoth. :)

Loom Project II

So.

I am very bad at weaving.

To be fair, the last time I used a real loom I was nine? So I hope I'll eventually improve. A real shuttle might help? tried a plastic one and a cardboard one, but neither are quite the right size/shape to go between the shed easily, and I guess that's pretty important to getting a nice even result.

So loom project is still on-going I guess, but at least I managed to get it all warped properly?

Wish me luck!

Cats + Sewing

They love to help...

Yet Another Tunic WiP

Started the next tunic. A little on the long side again, probably going to do the split front thing again, too, but with shorter sleeves this time. Still have to cut out side gores and a neck hole. :)

Current progress took about a half hour, so obviously these are really quick sewing projects. Trimming it will be what takes it from a fast project to an average speed one.

...I hate trimming. But it's still preferable to hemming, because at least with trim you sort of get a two-for-one deal: nice finished edges, and some decoration. ^__^

Inkle Loom WiP

It's a start!

 

So this is the base stuff, pre-sanding. Next:

Putting the pegs in!

   

Almost done, and corners all nicely beveled. Just a few last things to do, including seal it, but we'll have to do that part tomorrow. :}

WOO! Gonna make my own trims!

Loom Project

We're going to try to build an inkle loom tonight...

Will post progress photos, probably!
