Garment Construction Part 1: Handwoven Yardage and Sewing Tips

with Daryl Lancaster

Live Web Seminar

Join Daryl Lancaster as she discusses the first steps to garment construction. Live web seminar starts at 1pm EST on Feb. 23rd, 2015.
Cutting into handwoven cloth is one of the most distressing hurdles for most weavers to overcome. Yet, for garments that flatter the body, this is a critical part of the process of garment construction. And of course, how much yardage, how wide to weave, how to sett that yardage and ultimately what to make from that yardage are all questions that every weave interested in creating wearable garments has asked themselves.
In this five part series, Daryl will guide you through the entire process, from deciding what to weave, selecting the pattern, learning how to fit the pattern for the best results, and finally how to construct garments that flatter, maintain stability in the cloth and pay homage to the creative process. Daryl has spent a lifetime making garments. She became a handweaver in the 1970’s and has passionately combined the two, to create award winning garments from her handwoven fabric.
What you’ll learn:

  • Explore sources of inspiration for garments
  • Learn what size handwoven yardage works best for garments
  • Explore sett and sampling and finishing for handwoven yardage
  • Learn how to make handwoven fabric behave
  • Learn how to cut handwoven fabric and how to best transfer markings
Who should attend:

  • Handweavers who would like to create handwoven yardage.
  • Handweavers who would like to create garments from their yardage
  • Garment makers who would like to work with handwoven fabric
  • Sewers (or sewists) who would like to better understand the garment construction process
  • Handweavers and garment makers who want their garments to become more polished and professional looking.
Each registration comes with access to the archived version of the event as well as any handouts referenced during the presentation. You do not have to attend the live event to get the recording of the presentation or the handouts. In all Weaving Today web seminars, no question goes unanswered. Attendees have the ability to chat with the instructor during the live event and ask questions.
