Hi I'm jane from sheffield UK. I too would love to make a jacket that fits out of handwoven - you know, using colours that I will love forever. One of the more memorable episodes of weavecast (www.weavecast.com) is when Syne gets a sewing mannikin to match her exact shape. Episode 26, in case you want a look. She interviews Daryl Lancaster about sewing handwoven fabric.
I have just bought a big loom - glimakra standard 8 shafts so anything is possible.....

great idea for a group - will pass the word around.
I had a class from Dayrl several years ago & still wear my 'Dayrl" jacket with pleasure. Its daunting to make that first cut & I still have the bag of scraps left... surely enough to make something else!
Thanks for bring the episode up. I'll check it out.
