Sewing with Handwoven Fabric with Sharon
Baker Kelly
November 10, 2007
What’s so special about handwoven
garments? Why cut unto your handwoven fabric, when squares
and rectangles are the shapes we weave? If you don’t already
know the answers to these questions from first hand
experience, then this is the workshop for you! In the
afternoon workshop, participants will create a 16 – 18”
pillow top using scraps of their own handwoven fabric,
coordinating bias strips and fusible interfacing. A sewing
machine in clean, working order and a familiarity with
sewing basics are required for the afternoon workshop.
Sharon will mail out a complete supply list to registered
participants.
Maximum number of participants:
12 for hands-on in the afternoon
Materials fee per student: +/- $10
Sharon Baker Kelly, the “Diva Weava,” brings 40 years of
sewing experience to her handwoven garment construction. She
asks her students to forget notions of “quick” when sewing
with their precious handwoven fabric. The process of
choosing fibers and structures for weaving is joyous and
challenging, and creating one-of-a-kind wearable sculptures
with this vibrant fabric is an enviable art! Sharon has
enthusiastically embraced handwoven fabric as her fiber
medium of choice, and enjoys inspiring others to join the
fun.
