My 2nd warp on my new to me Mighty Wolf. Completed weaving and fulling the fabric before I left Savannah to live on our sailboat in upstate NY for the summer.
Started cutting in to the fabric 6/4 in hopes of making a skirt and top by 6/19. I'm using a linen skirt I purchased several years ago for a pattern adapting it to 3 pieces only 20 inches wide but 36 inches long. I'll gather the waistband on elastic. I'm not sure about the top yet. Percolating...
6/18/09 -- The summer outfit is completed just in time for my retirement reception tomorrow night! I'll take some photos and mount them later.
Started this in Savannah before we left to come North for the summer. Finished weaving the 7.5 yds of Queen Anne’s Lace from Henry’s Attic a couple days before we left – May 29 and was able to wash it and share the fabric with the Fiber Guild of the Savannahs. Woven with some Cottolin in yellow from my stash until it ran out… then used some slubby linen singles in white (also from my stash.)
After fulling the length of yellow was 80 inches and the cream was 127 inches.
Used a linen skirt and top that I liked the fit as rough patterns. Didn't have any left over when I finished!
