For makers who have a solid understanding of weaving basics, this book offers the thrill of making distinctive clothing that is truly one of a kind.

Expert weaver and teacher Karen Donde helps you define your needs and explains the design and technical considerations for warping, weaving, and finishing handwoven clothing fabric. Next, turn to weaving cloth for 8 different projects. You'll progress from unstructured scarves and wraps to fitted garments that are cut and sewn from yardage using a sewing pattern: shirts, skirts, jackets, vests, coats, and dresses.
  • How to make key decisions about the fabric's design needs to ensure its success in the garment.
  • Methods to plan, design, weave, and finish fabric suitable for clothing, including figuring out how much fabric you need, finding pattern/color inspiration, and more.
  • 8 garment projects: Personalize and weave these garments by starting from simple (scarves, wraps) and moving to shirts, skirts, jackets, vests, coats, and dresses.
  • Designer spotlights offer valuable tips: 11 weavers who excel at handwoven clothing share their stories, helpful advice, and inspirational photos.
