![]() ![]() This post is not about the weaving I finally did for the bedroom wall, but about the practice runs leading up to it and what a novice like me learned along the way–in case anyone can benefit from my mistakes.įabric basics: I knew fabric came in yards, but that was it. ![]() I avoided the second problem by deciding on a non-sewing solution for the bedroom project, though I know it’s only a matter of time before I’m going to have to learn how to use a sewing machine. I tackled the first problem by finding out everything I could about weaving with fabric strips, and by practicing a lot. (I can sew by hand, but that was definitely not something I wanted to attempt here.) Two problems: 1) My previous weaving experience was limited to making potholders as a child and 2) I don’t know how to use a sewing machine, which is useful for actually turning the weaves into a final product of some kind. One thing it needed was some kind of art work on the wall above the bed, and after coming across a fabric weaving photo online, I knew that was what I wanted to do. We spent a lot of time making sure the living areas felt just right. We moved into a new house this past summer, and repainted every single wall in the house (because we are crazy that way).
