Summary:
"
Woven
to
Wear
presents more than 20
designs
and ideas for designing one's own
simple
garments. Author Marilyn Murphy and several contributors at the forefront of handwoven wearables will offer straightforward patterns and guidance for weaving scarves, wraps, shawls, capelets and other garments, along with advice for finishing, cutting and sewing the fabric, adding edgings and closures, and possibly combining
woven
fabrics with other techniques such as knitting and patchwork. The featured
designs
are influenced by a global melting pot of traditional folkloric costume and ethnic fabric mixes in which silhouettes are roomy, layered, and flowing. All of these elements easily translate to
woven
wraps that allow the cloth to take center stage. The contributing designers are known for a particular approach, and discuss their work, and offer advice, tips, or patterns. In addition to featuring a variety of finishing techniques,
Woven
to
Wear
offers basic sewing techniques for weavers who don't sew, and information on sizing and fit where appropriate.
Woven
to
Wear
also discusses yarn types and yarn properties for fabrics, and offers advice and info for substituting yarns. Going beyond offering only patterns,
Woven
to
Wear
encourages a mindful approach to the craft. Rather than simply following instructions and using what the loom produces, readers are prompted to produce fabric they want, through yarn selection, weave structure, and deliberate finishing techniques. Expertly
woven
and constructed, the projects vary from the very
simple
to more challenging, with very few patterns requiring any additional sewing after they are
woven
