When weaving it is hard to cut the material after it is woven . Carefully washing and pressing your fabric and now what to do with it ? I came across this wonderful usage of hand woven fabric on the Mendocino wool and Fiber website . https://www.mendowool.com/blog/fabric-usage Her explanation of using the fabric for a top makes a lot of sense and I am going to try it . Happy weaving!

Life as a weaver and married to a metal artist

Image
we have been married 40 years now Andy and I . I turn 60 this month and have got some thoughts to share with you now. I have been quite about the subject but feel renewed after the election. Yes, I feel relieved that conservatism is not dead . When Andy and I got married in 1976 the backtotheland movement impressed us . Now looking back it was also a conservative movement too! Use less ,save more and don't forget the old ways of taking care of yourself . In the future posts I will share my thoughts on weaving as a lifestyle and being married to a metal artist . Raising productive children and being happy and grateful. Happy New Year ! Have a good life !
